Question Prepared for an Emergency?

Ok guys - I'm getting into the short strokes of my PPL - 40 hours done, 4 exams and one solo xc completed.

I was looking at the AAIB website this afternoon and reading the different accident reports - ghoulish I know, but educational. There's some fascinating stuff (I'm sure you've all seen it) including one about this 62 year old guy ditching perfectly off Guernsey.

Anyway, my question is this - how prepared are you for an emergency. Reading some of the reports, I'm not sure I feel particularly ready. Ok, so I've done some PFLs and EFATOs, but I'm not sure I'd show half the sense that a lot of the people mentioned in these reports did.

What do people feel about their own readiness?
