The safety unclip is useful (I do that one myself most of the time) - I've come to a stop and found that my cleat was stuck only to awkwardly fall in slow-mo. It's always good for someone's entrertainment when you do that at a busy intersection.
Absolutely! Usually at traffic lights when the bike rider is expecting them to change, and they don't. Until he topples!

Funny thing, I was considering getting some of these, but baulked at the problem of being struck by a car, and trapped in 'em. Talk about going down with your ship! THAT would not be funny . . .
