I don't think I've ever seen someone lose their grip at that point in a press.

I think he's talking about a reverse grip press.

I believe a suicide grip = thumbless grip - the thumb is on the same side of the bar as the fingers.

That's the experience you get using a false grip, so those using it should revel in their risky, competitive manliness and see how many inches of clearly defined bar rash and imprinted knurl they can measure on their flesh.
