Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There’s not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.

*parking brake not emergency brake. Most of these ratchet down and wouldn’t be very useful in an emergency since they’d just cause your rear wheels to lock up and lose traction.

If your main brakes go out, locking up is going to stop you quicker than coasting. Yes you’ll lose traction, and that has its own dangers, but you will come to a stop.
