Usually the cyclist ends up on the ground with the bike, but occasionally not. Happens regardless of the pedal type. If you think platforms help, now would be the time for some data to back you up.
It's your contention that it takes longer to get out of clipless pedals. It's not true for someone who knows how to use them.
