I just got Speedplay Frogs this year for my road bike. I read the directions. They say that the pedals are NOT designed to unclip automatically in a spill. I remember that kind of thing when I read it.

I fell over in the grass at the Big Dam Bridge ride--I was trying to take off, but my front wheel went into a little dent in the grass, and I was in too high a gear. I did that slow-mo fall to my right side. I unclipped left to try and save myself (I had time to say, "I'm going to FA---(boom)LL!", but the right didn't unclip until I hit the dirt.

It didn't hurt. I looked around to see if anyone noticed and NO ONE except my son did, even though we were both laughing pretty hard.
