Do you guys ever use the kill switch? I'm not sure it would be second nature for me to use it in an emergency.

Nope, never use it. I will occasionally when its parked up somewhere.
Its good to have though. Its rarely but sometimes very useful.
My mates life was saved by it, his throttle grip got stuck open (his own fault, bad work) and he had to use it to kill the engine.
When a river crossing gets too deep you should kill the engine asap before you flood the engine with water.
Its just a lot quicker than fumbling round with keys, especially if your dash is a cluttered with cables and gps units etc.
etc etc etc !!
