Its easy to do if you don't have traction. (if there is oil mixed with water, pavement can be almost as slick as ice)
I tested this many times after the crash, it was indeed quite easy to lock the rear wheel on wet roads, with those tires. (V-brakes still stop quite well even with wet rims in my experience)
