I've never used road clipless, but use MTB clipless on my road and mtb, so I"m not sure if what I"m about to say works with road clipless.

I've found with the mtb clipless pedals I've been able to jump out of both pedals at the same time. It's saved me more than once especially on the trail. Try it in a grassy area (unless it really just doesn't apply with road pedals). Just roll to a balanced stop and then in one motion with confidence pop up a bit while unclipping your feet with adequate force to ensure both come out of the pedals, then land on your feet straddling your top tube

Again - this may not work with road clipless, but it's worked with Time ATAC mtb clipless pedals.

Oh, and I've fallen a couple times over the years as well, just like most of us have.
