Bikes: '05 Epic

Clipless pedals. Dangerous?

I have been riding an old GT backwoods for a long time with regular flat pedals. I'm an OK rider. I like to ride technical trails and there are times every ride that i will have to take my foot off the pedals. I just got an 05 Epic with clipless pedals and I am trying to practice on them before i take it on any really tough trails. I have fallen off several times trying to put myself in situations I would encounter on trails which makes me a little nervouse. I have only had the bike for a few days. I am getting better with the pedals every day but still considering putting flat pedals back on for safety. Am I being paranoid? Does everyone go through this when the first try clipless pedals?
