I've gotten "stuck" during a crash more than once. Either I ended up pinned or the cleats end up releasing. I would estimate that they've saved me more bumps than they've caused. Dislocated feet are atypical. However, it's worth noting that with some SPD style pedals you can adjust the release tension. If you have them cranked down, it makes such an injury more likely.
