I just went to clipless pedals in May. I was terrified to use them. The guy at the bike shop told me I would fall, everyone does. I am unusually cautious and decided I would not! I used them for about a month and a half, no problem. Then, one day after I finished my ride, I came up the driveway and pulled under our deck. I stopped without pulling my foot out of the pedal and crashed, falling, into the hosecart and a wooden crate. I figured, "Oh well, nobody saw that and at least I wasn't moving fast." About two weeks later, I finished my ride, came up the driveway and rode into the garage and did the same thing...stopped before pulling out of the clip. Bam...right onto the garage floor! Again...no one saw me but I felt so stupid! Hasn't happened since and I hope it doesn't EVER happen again!

By the way...I too remember Laugh In and the guy on the tricycle. That was me...except on two wheels! LOL!!!
