I've been riding some similar cleats daily for the past six months or so and love them! To me it's like having the benfits of clipless (stiff soled shoes) with the option to wear regular shoes if you're going somewhere where you don't want to carry a second pair of shoes.
My only incident was one time getting out of the strap and going for a fastish dismount. I, apparently, only placed the plastic cleat on the ground 'cos my foot slipped out from under me causing me and the bike to end up on the ground in a busy-ish shopping strip. No injuries, plenty of embarassment.
