I consider that the default bindings of kill-region (to C-w) and 
copy-region-as-kill (to M-w) are the more risky way around, so I simply
exchange them in my .emacs file.  That way, the more dangerous
operation is on the less-frequently used plane (I certainly don't
use meta as much as control, your mileage may vary).  I'd rather
accidentally alter my kill ring than my buffer [but then I think >
