Yeah, what Dan said. As anyone who I've mountain biked this year will attest to, I fall down a LOT. Does it stop me from riding? Hell no! Well, only when I've temporarily injured myself enough to keep me off the trails.
And yeah, we've all done the 0mph fall over. That has little to do with riding fixed and a lot to do with getting used to a new pedal system. You should see me skittering around trying to get clipped into the pedals on my road bike (speedplay zero's). Yowza!
