Seems like a simple thing to avoid, yes? But, apparently not -- so, my wee bit of advice is unclip a foot, never mind the other one, and put that foot on the ground with your butt off the seat before worrying about unclipping the second foot -- if you really need to!
Karen, I think it happens when people unclip one foot in preparation to stopping, but then when the bike stops it unexpectedly tips over to the OTHER side that is still clipped in.
