We all stumble before we walk, for most everyone clipless is not an issue. Many people use it everyday without consequence.
I have been injured more from normal pedals striking my shins or calfs (calves) than clipless. Or from my foot slipping off my pedal and loosing control of my bike.
Let me check my clipless injuries. I think I must have fallen over once. But I honestly do not remember even doing that, I just assume I must have at some point. I do not recall any other instances of injury or death from clipless.
One death due to clipless is one death to many..........

I dislike clipless pedals on any city bike since I feel they are unsafe.
