I think you are probably right.
And you may already know this, but there's a technique to riding slowly on steep bankings. Keeping pressure on the left foot can help the bike 'dig in' to the banking and keep your grip at slower speeds.
Obviously when riding slowly, kicking back, hesitating and failing to keep pressure on the pedals will usually result in an unplanned trip to the safety zone.
