Well, almost crashed today but my feet came off the pedals without even thinking, so i'm convinced clipless are just as safe as regular pedals. A van was stopped in front of me, so after slowing to nearly a stop to make sure it was safe, I stood up to go around, i guess my back tire hit a wet patch as I was leaning and off the saddle.. so no weight on the back + wet patch + leaning while accelerating + bald, nearly finished tire = the back tire slid out.. my feet came off by themselves, and I didn't fall, but my pump mount broke somehow..

It's been easy for the most part. I usually unclip at the same spot, relative to the rotation of the chainring, so when i put my foot back on the pedal, the clipped side seems to be there. In the few times that it's not, the platform side makes it easy to get up to speed, then when i'm ready I take my foot off the pedal for one rotation and the clip rotates around to the top again. That's the best I can explain it..
