I wouldn't call it a wipe out but it was my first clipless fall. A train was going overhead on one of the bridges and it made scrap metal rain from above. I quickly stopped and that was about all I did- no unclipping, no trackstand, just stop and fall. good news was that I was not impaled with metal bad news was that I scraped my knee up. I felt like a beaten person that day.
