This is why tire clearance is a good thing.
In the 1960s we used to watch for bubbles in tires as signs they should be replaced immediately, but I have not encountered the problem on my own bikes during the past 20 or 30 years.
The one time I skidded to a stop like yours I caught a small board in my rear spokes. I kept the bike upright, but the experience was scary enough, without contemplating what would have happened if it had locked up my front wheel, instead.
