I know it takes a decent amount of force, but does it take so much that you run the risk of cracking or breaking your bike frame? Just curious about this.
Unless there is already a hidden crack or dent on the way to being a crack, I seriously doubt it. You shouldn't be exerting too much force if the pedal tension is set low (as it should be for someone just learning to ride clipless).
