I was also VERY surprised that my feet unclipped themselves when I fell this past weekend. It wasn't my first fall, but it was my first "bad" fall. Luckily I was only going about 10 mph, but I went over some railroad tracks that were not perpendicular with the road, so my tire slipped right into the track and threw me over the handlebars. I had nasty roadrash all along my left side and hit my head hard enough that I got to take a fun ambulance ride. One of the first things I asked myself was, "how the heck did I get unclipped?".

It happened so fast and I know for a fact I didn't do anything to get unclipped, so I'm proof that the impact will unclip you when needed. One of my biggest fears was that I'd break both ankles, and it's NOT TRUE!!!

But I will remind everyone - WEAR YOUR HELMET!!!!!!! The impact of the helmet on my head was bad enough, I couldn't even imagine if my head would have hit the cement directly. It saved my brain, skull, and if I was going any faster, it may have even saved my life!!!!
