He's proposing a theroy about human behavior. His idea is that when people are used to feeling unsafe they tend towards prey animal survival strategies (eyes darting around, focusing on escape routes instead of goals) and that when people get used to being on top of things they tend to adopt predator animal behaviors (eyes on the ball, focusing on goals instead of possible escapes.)

The reason I wasn't sure this was what he was trying to say is that good motorcyclists tend to keep their eyes steady on the horizon, and yet also, they continuously identify possible escape routes.
