As already pointed out, you don't have any momentum on rollers, so the worst that can happen is that you depart sideways. Broken bones are highly unlikely.

I may've had the odd off from the rollers in the early days, but there is no forwards motion so it's a bit more likely a clipless moment than rocketing forward.
