As with many things, it can take a while to get used to the clips/cleats. And so beginners can have problems (and thus good for some spectacular candid videos).
Do 5 yr olds crash their bikes because of the flats? But, they also learn to ride flats... so clips/cleats are new to them when they eventually install them on their bikes, perhaps years later.
For those used to the clips/cleats, they are no less safe, and just become a matter of preference.
Close the You-Tube, and get out and ride the bike.
It's not a debate..... its .... how i feel about it. Youtube.....no idea what you're talking about. Please do read the whole thread including my own replies (which are several and extensive).
