FYI - I don't want to scare you, it's relatively hard to do if you learn to brake properly, but you can certainly go over the handlebars of an upright/hybrid.... in fact I think it is probably easier to do, as you have a higher center of gravity and generally stronger/grabbier brakes.

Just saying, don't let that fear scare you off drop bars.
