My toe clips really messed me up when I crashed last year. A ped walked right in front of me as I was riding down the bridge, I clipped his shoulder with mine and went flying over the bars. I was still clipped in and landed with the bike on top of me and my knees all bent up and bruised. One of them still hurts from time to time thanks to that incident.
