Packing on the miles will definitely make you a much safer better rider, but so will deticated practice on emergency maneuvers.
"emergency" is extremely difficult to create when you are the one knowing and choosing where to create the incident to practice.

I put it equal to learning how to ride a bicycle with clips...
