Why is it not safe to apply brakes only on the front wheel of a bicycle?

Applying brakes only on the front wheel causes a sudden stop, while the rider’s inertia keeps them moving forward, increasing the risk of being thrown over the handlebars. It is safer to apply brakes on both wheels for balanced stopping.
