Yes.
I did a similar type of "safety" course at the now defunct Sheffield Airport. It was an excellent course designed to dispel the 'biking myths such as braking hard, braking in corners, swerving to avoid stuff etc, etc. The braking excersise was particulary good, a cone was put out several hundred metres away and the question was asked were we thought we would stop at 60 mph. Obviously we estimated waaaay on the side of caution, when we did the excersise we were all able to stop in a much shorter distance than we expected without any real drama. The tyres on modern (ish, my Brother in Law was on his 850 Commando)'bikes coupled with disc brakes made stopping easy. We repeated this moving the cone closer and closer still without drama. My 'bike didn't have ABS, the plods were on FJR's, they were happily out braking us without troubling the antilock.
I have yet to summon the courage to try the cornering ABS and stability control on my KTM, it apparently works very well.
