Good habits is orthoganal to good equipment. Sure you should maybe not try to look at a map except at certain times and not certain other times. Yeah, and, shit happens. Life is messy. Cycling is inherently chaotic and your own input merely helps. I don't see "you shouldn't do that" as a good excuse for "your equipment doesn't have to, but by choice, it helps kill you if you don't always do everything perfectly" not to mention, the danger from removing a hand from bars is not even remotely limited to 50mph hills. You shouldn't put your hand into the table saw, AND table saws have guards.
