yeah, i assume it's normal cause i had the same reactions at first. i just went right on out and fell down. alot. i would suggest slowing down until confidence is higher. practice sections that bother you at varing speeds and lines. feel free to unclip one foot for emergency use in advance until you feel more confident. set your screws to the lightest tension so awkward panic unclips are easier. realize if you biff at speed and don't unclip, it will hurt.i took the top bar to the knee once and due to my momentum bounced around the trail one legged, holding my smashed knee and shrieking curses for a good fifteen minutes before i was able to unfold my leg and actually put weight on it. wear a helmet. have fun learning to ride with clipless, it's worth it.
