Ruff or bumpy pavement turns me into a biatch!

For me there is one corner that has a pretty nasty bump right in my line. One time I went over it, had no idea it was there and my handlebars did a mini tank slapper. Nothing happened, fortunately. Since then I tip toe through there, until earlier this year... I stayed on the throttle instead of backing off and viola, nothing too bad. I have to wonder if a steering damper would have helped in that situation?
