Interesting way to look at it. Protection while knowing how to do something is not the same thing as using something to help you do something you can't do without it. Jumping a bike properly (clipped or clipless) is much safer than not knowing how to jump and just holding on. I would rather be clipped and know how to jump than not know how to jump, that was my only point.
