I am fortunate that after a year of clipless pedals, I have not fallen off the road bike due to "failure to unclip" My first real ride with them was on the MTB through lots of rock gardens - lots of slow falls into rocks due to unclip failures. I guess the character building exercise worked, at least for road bikes. I still have the occasional moment on the mountain bike, but have found that the secret to traversing rock gardens is to ride faster!
