IMO there are safer pedals ,i.e. bmx & platform pedals, that will get you there with way less risk of falling or other injury.
There may be advantages that outway the risk.
There are other risks with pedals. Have you ever been chopped by a meat tenderizer type BMX pedal? Have you ever lost your footing while going over a jump with platforms?
There are many reasons why for many different things. We all do what we will.
