Remember, everyone falls at least once when learning to use clipless pedals. Some, like, err, me, fall, um, twice. I'm sure some fall more.
Heck, you probably remember falling when you started using toe clips.
So don't let falling 1X, 2X, 3X etc turn you off those clipless pedals. Sit on the bike, stationary, can you clip in and out without much difficulty? If so, the pedals are fine and your falls are normal.
Adjust the clips to loose. Get back on the bike. Start unclipping whenever you "might" need to stop - it will become a habit, just as you are in the habit of putting your finger on the brake lever whenever you might have to brake. Give it a few more falls before you cry uncle.
Ditto to all of the above. It's been years, but I fell 5 or 6 times when I first had clipless pedals.
Also- how old are the cleats? Well worn cleats can make getting out troublesome. You'd be amazed at the difference new cleats make.
