That said, I see no reason for any rec rider to head out without a Ritchey CPR9 (or some lesser, heavier, bulkier tool as their sensibility allows) as a prophylactic measure. They're cheap and light and easy to carry. Start adding in chain breakers, crank pullers, and fire ******ant Nomex suits, and the situation changes drastically.
You must not ride much.

I have had spokes snap and get tangled in a rr der bending the hanger. I have had twigs jump up and do the same thing. I have crashed and messed up the rr der. I have had a link on a chain get bent and pull the rr der around causing a problem.

Solution?

Find a gear that works and lock it in.

Downside?

None. You have the tool anyway in a multi tool.
