It takes a long time to perfect and is a soft style so as to speak. Indeed learning how to roll and break falls is important in styles that emphasize stand up grappling like Judo, Traditional Ju Jitsu, Aikido and Hapkido.
Why? If you get thrown fast and develop a sense of where you are being thrown, you will try to land such that you go with the force or use your hips aided by your arms slapping to reduce the force.
Landing on your head or with limbs flailing on a hard surface will cause damage.
