Why do you think that less bank is safer ? You can't slow a glider so it stalls/spin at 45 degrees bank, but certainly can at a less angle.
Maybe you mean protection against gusts ?

The steeper the bank angle, the smaller the vertical lift vector component becomes and the greater the horizontal vector becomes. This means that you need a higher speed to generate the same amount of lift. Thus, a slower speed or the same speed could result in a higher sink rate, which could change the apparent wind angle (angle of attack) over the wing and result in a spin/stall. That's the theory at least.
