Losing a front wheel is less catastrophic than a rear. Sure, you can't recover from it, but you also can't high side due to loss of front traction.

Losing traction from braking on the front wheel almost never happens. I've only ever done that once, and probably never will repeat that mistake again.

I've lost the rear many times, but fortunately have never high sided.
