On a side-note, it sounds as if hitting the rear brake might have been the 
cause of your particular problem. This incident is akin to hitting a couple of 
tar snakes while in a curve... it's unnerving, but requires nothing more from 
the operator than to maintain speed and directional stability. Applying the 
rear brake will result in the rear tire grabbing as it leaves the loose surface 
and comes in contact with the pavement again... an (almost) guaranteed 
high-side.
