Am I the only one? (Toppling over on clipless pedals)

My first day with my new clipless pedals and shoes, 5 miles into my ride - I got squeezed between a lorry and a white van man who seemed to want to actually grind me into a paste, had to come to a quick stop and forgot that my feet were clipped in...

Fortunately the bleeding stopped after a few hours (scraped my shin across my chainring, looks like I was attacked by a very angry squirrel), however I think my ego will be bruised for a while - a large group of pedestrians as well as all the other cars on the road had quite an entertaining morning...plus all my co-workers and my wife chanting "I told you so"

How many of you have fallen over because you forgot to twist your feet out before stopping?
