I broke my humerus into 4 pieces and had a paralyzed arm for a year from not being able to clip out in time during a mountain bike wipeout. These aren't horror stories to scare you...it's real sh|t that happens all the time. I use toe clips now....I'll never go clipless again....the advantage doesn't come close to outweighing the risk for me.
