Do you slow your car down every time you go around a curve in the road? You don't, generally, expect someone to be on the "wrong side of the road"
Speeding around a blind corner is a danger even if no one else is on the trail. As I have mentioned you could easily have collided with a fallen limb or other debris.
And yes, not only do I slow a car down when going around a curve in the road, it is actually legally (and potentially physically) required behavior. In fact on many roads, such curves have signage indicating a lower speed limit. The MUP doesn't for I would suspect mostly financial reasons.
