I've done it before but this was before i learnt how to ride a bike properly. Its complete user-error, but if this is really an issue you could swap brakes like the americans. Certainly no justification for not having a front brake!
Not sure why anyone would want to ride with only a back brake though (fixed or otherwise), most of your stopping power is in the front brake.. I thought everyone liked going fast.
