Turning to the right, going to fast, touched brakes, lay down, slam. Once, wet pavement was involved and I was going 70 ...




You have already answered your own question.
Do all your braking before you turn ... be exceptionally suspicious/alert in wet conditions.

Edit: If you hit the rear brakes in a turn, you have a stronger chance of high-siding. Hitting the front brakes up to the limit before the front wheel washes out (always difficult to determine this limit).
My own technique ... slow in (engine-braking into turns) - fast out (rev level already ideal because of previous engine-braking).
