Every once in a blue moon, I will slam my left foot into an empty space on the floor.
The brake is a right foot pedal, and I'm not sure what models others are speaking of when they say automatic brake pedals are wider. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.
I think it's been over twenty years since I've driven a manual transmission. I wonder if I could still do it. In my younger years when such cars were still common, it was second nature, but here 'murca, it's tough to even find one if you want one anymore.
We have both types at home and yes the brake pedal on the automatic is twice as wide as the gas one. The only way for me to prevent using my left foot is to have it on the little rest spor on the left.

VS this
The brake pedal in the first picture is more than twice as wide as the accelerator, and it's only about ~50% wider in the second picture
Well, judging fron the foot slamming, you haven't completely forgotten how to drive a manual. So I'd say you'll still be able to drive those after getting used to them for a bit.
As for the pedals, it is possible since to hit the brake with the left foot by mistake. Since not all foot wells are designed the same and in my experience the automatic brake pedals usually are quite a bit wider.
