I think what's important here is having some sort of awareness in the first place, rather than just wandering through things.

To switch this from a gunfight to a dogfight analogy, it matters a whole lot less what airplane you're flying than it does whether or not you realize somebody is on your six. Once you realize somebody is on your six, it matters a whole lot more what your training is, than what your airplane is.

So maybe it's risk avoidance, risk awareness, and training...and training is preparing for situations that you're smart enough not to get yourself into in the first place.
