I imagine that this would stop the pins from bending in a crash, so the handling would be consistent.
Still, it looks a bit wacky to me, and you have to hit the wall pretty hard to bend the pins enough to notice a difference, and the pins are really cheap / easy to replace.
You can even get the flash titanium ones, which dont appear to be much stronger
