Reminders of God can make people more likely to seek out and take risks, according to a new research.
The findings suggest that people are willing to take these risks because they view God as providing security against potential negative outcomes.

Additional findings indicated that people who were reminded of God perceived less danger in various risky behaviours than participants who were not reminded of God.
They reported more negative feelings toward God when they lost their potential winnings in a risk-related game, suggesting that they had expected God to protect them from losing the money and were disappointed in the outcome.

Similarly there is research to prove that seat belt, and airbags in car make people drive rash.
I am a believer (advaitin), but I also think of personal responsibility. I do not believe in an active God who attends to every devotees desire.
