There are lots of notes about keeping your weight back as far as possible when braking hard.
You get more stopping power with the front brake, and more skidding on the rear, but the rear brake won't throw you over the handlebars.
Unless you're travelling backwards, then it could be a real problem. I think that the ambulance chaser owes us some context for these alleged incidents. If that's what he indeed is.
