Both brakes, weight back (to stop the rear lifting up), feet on pedals (for balance) and braced arms (to stop you moving forward).

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.
