i had a really great crash with clips and straps. everything was all good except for some reason that i cannot understand my right shoe stayed totally strapped into the pedal. i landed (i think) with my left side down on the ground and i have no clue really how i didnt manage twisting or breaking my right ankle. my foot must have wiggled its way out of the shoe on impact or something. it was pretty strange. i woke up in front of the car and laughed a bit, dusted off the blood and gravel, looked at my poor front wheel and shook my fist at the driver. as soon as i was able to get myself and my bike out of traffic and away from the hood of her car, she took off speeding. u-lock successfully thrown, clear break through her back window. i guess she might still have it, but who cares. anyways, i dont know. i trust clips and straps, even though they worked so well that my shoe stayed in them during a crash.
