I fell in a ditch still clipped in when my girlfriend stopped suddenly in front of me in the Forest of Dean, it was a steep hill and we had all our camping gear so I was only going about 5 mph.
Before I got clipless pedals I had one embarrassing incident when my shoelace got wrapped around the pedal spindle. I noticed it, slowed down to stop, but then had a brainstorm and tried to dismount onto the foot that was stuck, and toppled over sideways onto the pavement.
I've had the opposite problem with the Crank Brothers egg-beater pedal/cleat combination. The brass cleats wore out after just a few months, leading to several occasions where my foot slipped off the pedal when I accelerated. I'm just wearing out the spare set of cleats, then I'm going to get soemthing else.
