I've used the AR-2 EZY pedals for over 20,000 miles and have never used the C-clips as they are a PITA for commuting. The pedals have never come off on their own. I speculate that the riders who experienced pedals detaching spontaneously either did not check for proper locking by tugging on the pedal after installation, or (more likely in my view) their foot somehow contacted the release sleeve and rotated enough to disengage the pedal. I think the toe clips may prevent this. Anyway, the problem seems to have been eliminated by the re-design of the latch.
