Yeah I've fallen a few times when I got Speedplay frogs- and according to the manual your feet DON"T clip out when you fall- which I realized as the bike was atop my leg and my ankle was twisting miserably underneath. Still hurts if I bend it in an awkward way (a month later). After a few falls (which not only hurt me but was starting to do damage to my nice Fisher Tassajara (bent derailleur, broken off tip to brake lever) and some some spooky moments going down hills, I decided to put the frogs on my old bike and just ride on platforms for a while. If I fall, no biggie to the bike, plus I can practice, practice, practice on the trainer and the back road til I get thoroughly used to the frogs, which as the rate I'm going will be about a year, give or take a few months. (Oh well, at least I can get out on my nice bike with the platforms and eat up the road like I always did!)
