A safety guard (50; 52; 55) is configured to extend down from a body portion (7) of a vehicle (2) for engaging animate and inanimate objects in order to prevent the objects from going under the vehicle (2). A detection system is also provided, including a plurality of sensors (56-58 and 62-64) configured to sense an impact experienced by the safety guard (50; 52; 55) and a control unit (68) for analyzing the impact. The analysis can result in various actions being taken, including issuance of an impact warning, an evaluation on the cause of the impact, an assessment on any operator negligence associated with the impact and/or a notification regarding a need to replace the safety guard (50; 52; 55) due to the impact.
