Weight distribution combined with height. If deceleration moves your COM past the front axle, then you're gonna do a Superman Dismount. Some bikes are more resistant than others; I'm not sure that even a stick in the front spokes would do it to me on my avatar bike. Anyway, it's good to hear you're not a new member of the broken clavicle club.
