Ricey, you will fall lol.. It's happened to all of us. I've fallen once since I went clipless in May..

I was riding to work one morning on the bike path. Maintenance truck was in path. Signaled to go ahead and pass by, I slowly rode up to the truck and instead of squeezing through the truck and edge of walk, I went into the grass. When I tried to get back on the sidewalk, the nice wet grass made my rear tire slide and down I went to my left side. I was nearly stopped so did not hurt, but was embarrassing. Have had quite a few close calls after.

This coming from the guy who was "always" aware, and I would even unclip ahead of time when I'd see a group of people or a person walking a dog ahead of me.
