And there's the fact that if you're using them for an assist or to stop a fall, the force will not be straight out like they're designed to be used. The force will pulling down at an angle, possibly lessening the amount of force necessary to pull them out of place.

Exactly. But if you put it up as an assist, then if you do slip, you're going to automatically reach out to grab hold. From what I remember when we installed assist bars for my mom, thst was the biggest danger - if the assist bar isn't strong enough to help you when you lose your balance, then it becomes dangerous because your instinct is to grab it to stop the fall and it can't handle that - so you do more damage than without it.
I did say temporory Since I do not know the practiclaty of installing true assist bars in a RV shower and I know that it would not be possible in a campground shower. IMHO They will work just fine to help stablize a person and would be better than nothing at all.

These work great for use as a temporary hand rail in the shower or even a temporary towel rack.

I use suction cup grab bars like that in our shower for my father who lives with us. They work great for about an hour if the wall is wetted. After that, they loose suction. If I forget to take them down after his shower, they fall off around 2 in the morning and wake me up!
