I would have never suspected...
A properly fitted safety with a positive detent won't get bumped on. I have an older Springfield that has a "mushy" safety, and I don't think I've ever bumped it on. OTOH, the slide stop CAN get bumped up by the tip of your off-hand thumb and lock the slide back. That's why I favor keeping both thumbs locked down so they don't do any mischief.
