handlebar width and handling?

Help me understand physics!

I have hybrid (really just a flat bar road bike), and I am considering cutting the bars shorter...I ride A lot on my bar ends, and my hands feel wide when I do that. On the actual grips seemsOk.

But...what effect does handlebar width have on stability durring high speed descents? (I use the actual grips on descents, cuz that's where the brakes are)
