It didnt help my father in law. He landed on his head and killed him instantly.
And yes, he locked up the rear and highsided, which threw him over the bars.

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law high side death.

I was just speaking from my own experience I went over the handlebars at around 45 mph landed on my head. I expected too be really hurt but to my surprise the helmet saved me. No real injuries.

Not only do you need the gear you have too be lucky too. ATGATT I learned my lesson the hard way.

I'm with you on this. I have anti-lock brakes on my BMW R1100RT and enjoy using them when it's a little slick out (e.g. rain, snow, patches of ice). As a matter of fact, I've used the heck out of them over the past couple of days...especially in the mornings. However, aside from riding in these types of weather conditions, I like to keep them turned off.
