She'll be fine. The dangers associated with clipless pedals are overstated to the point of absurdity. Worse than the swine flu, even. I do agree with the previous poster that combination clipless/platform pedals are more difficult for a novice than the double sided clipless pedals because the wrong side is up most of the time.
Fear kills.
