The first thing you should do after getting back up is frantically check your brakes and cables, make it look like it was the bike's fault, not yours.
I thought I might want to learn that myself but decided in favor of being able to reflexively unclip my right foot in (almost) any situation. Good so far, but I'm cautious by nature so I suppose it hasn't been tested much.
