As long as a rider is tethered to his bike any fall will generate injury due to the clips if the rider can't get free of the bike to roll away from the bike.

Clip in's or toe clips increase the chance of injury by a factor of 100% in real world riding.

If you race cycles then clip in's & toe clips are required to compete but racing by it's very nature is dangerous. Clip in's & toe clips have no place in street riding. No place at all...........
