I am not sure why Nightshade is so anti-clipless and I also disagree completely.
I use double sided SPD pedals on my mountain bike when riding trails and SPD-SL (shimano 105s) when on my road bike. I have had a number of impressive bails while riding fairly technical trails and never had even minor injuries due to the pedals. It is nice to have double sided cleats if you are going to be clipping in and out often as it is a bit quicker.
