I'm a klutz. Stories like these make me very scared of clipless. Luckily for me, it's a moot point anyway because i can't afford to convert

Coyote-esque hang time, then WHAM thump crash thud clunk "I'm OK!!" .... ow" sequences. It's a good thing all my friends know I'm prone to such events, otherwise they'd have had The Boy's head...)
