Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I've never slipped out of them unintentionally.

Kinda strange about your other comment seeing as Frogs have something like 35 or 37 degrees of float (rotation BEFORE your shoe can be unclipped) as opposed to a standard SPD mtn bike pedal of maybe 5 degrees.
The only thing I will say about frogs is that when you are clipping in it is not a positive clip in. You place the shoe on the pedal correctly and it's in, no snap, no nothing, just in. I like to feel a snap in so I know I'm clipped in for sure. That said, they are great and I like the float.
FWIW - The issue is that most all road systems are set up in such a way that you come against spring tension before disengagement. With frog you do not. One second you are clipped in....the next you are not. This is not caused by a worn cleat - rather it is the nature of the design.
