The jerking motion of trying to move your foot off the pedals and then being clipped in will cause you to jerk to the side and lose your balance. You realize this. You cant stop it. You are leaning to far to one side and cant correct it. You will fall in slow motion like an idiot. Most likely a group of people will see you.
+1!! And you will land on your back, the bike still attached to your feet sticking straight up in the air, and you feeling like a turtle stuck on its shell.
