Default Taking a fall

I learned to fall originally from judo practice then spent countless hours practicing ukemi in aikido classes. Honestly, judo kept me from killing myself and aikido showed me how to better control my falls in order to use them to my advantage. I wish we did less of it though...

How many of you practice being thrown? Is it important for you.
