Has this happened to you? If so, on which pedals? Modern mtb flat pedals have pins that "cling" to the bottom of the shoe. I ride quite a lot of gravel and singletrack and my feet are quite stable on the pedals, even in the wet. A lot of enduro and downhill riders also use flats and their terrain is a lot rougher than what you see riding gravel on a drop bar bike.
