Dad was on a motorcycle or bicycle?
Going over the front on a motorcycle is hard.
Or maybe I'm unusual, because my instinct when the front really dives is to back off the brakes. If your panic response is to grab it harder that could do it.
Here's a tip: Never put all four fingers on the brake. That easy you can still keep a hold of the handlebar while letting off the brakes. I've seen lots of bikes that have a 2-finger brake lever to enforce this behavior.
