I think the sides are where most of the accidents happen, yeah those skirts are supposed to deflect cars, looking for the pictures, I saw a couple of cars that hit them head on and went half under. I think it’s more for sideswipes.
Speak of the devil, I was driving today and I saw one of the rather flimsy looking sheet metal barriers that was totally just blown apart. Some of the barriers look more robust than others, you are right though some look super flimsy and this one appears to have been that.
I wasn’t thinking of the big one in the back, sorry. I was referring to the long side skirts that run down the length of the trailer.

Sideswipe seems plausible. They just look so flimsy.
