Doesn't say if they were wearing helmets, but given the bike appears to be a Harley and give the nature of the man's injuries, it's a fair assumption they were not. Proper gear won't necessarily save your life, but it gives you a fighting chance.
With regards to your Honda, for decades Gold Wings have had "linked brakes", meaning the rear brake pedal also activates one side of the front brakes. So when you "came down hard" on the rear brake, you were actually applying both front and rear brakes. If you were on any bike other than a Gold Wing or ABS-equipped motorcycle, slamming on the rear brake would likely result in a dump.
I've never had any close calls with deer, but I know a couple of guys who hit deer and survived. A few years back I was riding in WV and a bear ran out in front of me. Had I come along a few seconds earlier it could have turned out badly. I also worry about big birds like Sandhill cranes and turkeys. Even a pheasant could be bad news at 70 mph.
