This is a case of impact pushing you to one side, over-correct one way, over-correct the other way, etc... You may have been able to wrestle it into control eventually if you had not hit the brakes, or not. It is pure reflexes. Riding mountain bikes and/or cyclocross and crashing a lot helps prevent crashes in this sort of situation, but it is no guarantee (and not necessarily a good trade).
You sound like you know what you're talking about so answer me this. If you do brake, you will be going slower when you crash? That's a good thing, no?
One thing's for sure, I've fallen so many times that I'm finally getting pretty good at it!
