Tubeless tires for road bike

Does anybody use them or know about them? It's monsoon season, so the roads are crappy. Lots of nasty stuff gets washed into the bike lanes in addition to the regular glass from car accidents, etc.

Several friends swear by them, but I understand that inflating them takes a small team. So a flat in the middle of nowhere would be problematic - except someone else told me they insert a tube into the tubeless tire & get home that way...:confused:

I'm changing yet another flat & thinking seriously of tubeless.
