Whew, very lucky you planted yer butt on the saddle. My more frequent problem is pulling the rear end too high when I'm clipped in, since I bunny hop on platforms just as often as when clipped in.

Just yesterday I encountered a problem that may be common for folks that go from clipless to platform: I struck pavement while pedalling through a turn. If I'd had SPDs on that probably wouldn't have happened.

Luckily I've never gone down from a pedal strike on the street - knock on wood.
