Not personal experience, but instead having to catch a buddy afetr he realized he couldn't release EITHER pedal since he had a screw fall out of both shoes on the same ride.
He made the discovery while he was slowing down and at least hadn't come to a pont where he had to unclip

He rode in circles until I dismounted and I balanced him while he tried to unclip.

One of those really funny clipless moments
