No, at a minimum the bar has to be moved farther than the bar end length to get the branch loose. That leads to a much larger deviation in the wheel. Now add in that you are moving forward while this is happening. It all combines to make it much, much harder to come off the branch.

If you catch a branch with a bar end while moving you are going to eat some dirt.

I should've made it more explicit, but I was expanding on the case of not having bar ends.
