If yes, it's pretty much like clicking out of your bindings.
hmm, I never think of it like that. Alpine ski bindings release more upon appication of certain types of impact and torque - you can't just step out them them with a subtle movement like you can a clipless bike pedal. In fact, I know a mountain biker who got himself into a whole lot of hurt thining he'd release automatically out of SPD's. With mine, I have to open the rear of the binding with my ski pole or by slamming my other ski onto it, no auto relaease for me, except in major garage sale events.

I think you have to train yourself to do it as an automatic reaction. You have to think about it at first, then it becomes second nature. If your clips are set so tight that it takes you 100 feet to get out of them, you may need to get them lubed and adjusted.
