If by handle you mean get out of unscathed, then I would call this a myth, because as you said, all the skills in the world won't get you out of some situations.

However, I think we can all agree that the way you handle yourself in certain situations can determine wether you come out of it with some scratches and bruises or a body cast. An experianced rider who's been through some spills may stand a better chance than squid boy in his first year of riding.
