That's the whole point of the amber light. You don't need to brake so hard you fall off, you are allowed to go through it but should stop if safe to do so.

I never practice emergency braking because I might drop my bike, so when I do emergency brake I definitely drop my bike? It's pretty piss easy to lock up the front in the wet, yes, but it's also just as easy to get teh wheel spinning again.
I used to enjoy practicing this on GN250s, because of the geometry they are very easy to lock in the wet, and easy to control. Fuckin horrid feeling 'till you get used to it.
Being better at recovering a front end slide is better than whatever the fuck your plan is
