I considered both clip and clipless. I just do not like the idea of being "tied" to the bike if something (as it frequently does with me) goes wrong. With the platform pedals, which are not bad btw, I know I am coordinated enough to bail and do a PLF (parachute landing fall) when I hit. No, I was never airborne, but I did get trained, many years ago, as a skydiver. Those were back in the days when I thought I was immortal!
