With the exception of DrIsotope, most of us fall over sooner or later with any cleat system. There are tricks to making those falls no big deal. Mine are to: as soon as I realize I am going over I remind myself to relax, hit the road with as much of as possible and don't let go of the handlebars. I rarely get more than very minor bruises and usually don't do more than dirty some clothing. The bike rarely hits the road at all and if it does, it is the bate tape, maybe a few scratches on the hood.
