You'd think if you hit hard enough to bend those like that, you could also bend your frame too.

Well, no, the point is that the SKIDS take the impacts, PROTECTING the frame and all those low hanging fruit under there.

Plus, the skids tie the frame points together, much the same way the floorboards tie together the framing on a house...increasing the overall strength/ridgidity of the truck.
