In the experience of other members that have had a broken front spring who I have spoken to, the spring protectors do nothing in the event of a broken spring. The broken spring completely misses the protector and punctures the tyre anyway.

I guess you didn't read the post from one of the MGR guys that actually fractured hundreds if springs when developing/testing them. Some failed, most didn't. There's statistics and there are statistics.
