I fell a couple of times when I first started seriously road riding but once was a stupid U-turn move on my part that I'd probably do today without thinking and the other was because someone pushed me into a pothole as we were starting up at a stoplight.
I don't recall ever falling on my mtb due to the pedals. Lots of other reasons for falls, but not the pedals.
I hated cages and definitely fell because of those. And riding on platforms is equally scary as I have a hard time keeping my feet on the pedals at times, and there are times when a hard one-legged pull up on the pedal has saved my tookas.
