I know this is a mountain bike thread, but I broke my foot in a fall while road biking. Although my SPDs were on the loosest setting, I didn't get clipped out during the crash, my foot twisted underneath the bike, and I broke the 1st, 2nd and 3rd metatarsals. I haven't been back in clipless since and haven't missed them at all. I am using Ergons, which are fine although I would like to try lamdas, but budget does not allow. There is a thread on here somewhere about my experience with them. You probably need pins for trail riding, which Ergon's do not have.
