Your technique and mine are the same. It is the only way I was able to keep myself from catapulting over the bars into her. Instead she just got the front wheel in the crotch.

braced arms (to stop you moving forward).
My wife's mate broke both her wrists by locking her arms out when she hit a pulling out van.
I'd suggest you should lay the bike on it's side and slide with it, you'll upend peds, but pass under HGVs safely.

Both brakes, weight back (to stop the rear lifting up), feet on pedals (for balance) and braced arms (to stop you moving forward).
Just front brake, no?

You had 2/4.
Given that most people's default stopping technique is to pull the brakes and then step forward it is not surprising that when emergencies occur they just do the same but faster and get catapulted forward.
