That's one advantage of zero-float cleats. I have mine set on the weakest/loosest setting and have never unexpectedly unclipped. Not even close. I have to make a conscious decision to twist my foot/ankle to get out.

The right foot muscle memory is pretty good. I'd be in a world of hurt if I had to unclip my left foot first. It's amazing how fast one can unclip when they have to quickly.
