"I've fallen sideways from a stationary position several times over the last 5 years as an avid cyclist when I've had lapses in judgment or focus when declipping from my pedals." Maybe you should try being a lot more careful. I've been riding 10,000km per annum for a decade, two of those years in Mexico City with the worst traffic in the hemisphere. I routinely do 40km up and down rides in the mountains at high speeds and medium length rides in city traffic. I've had one crash and that happened on wet cobblestones with a new bike whose brakes I didn't know well; I endoed over the handlebars and scraped my hands up a little and then rode home 10 more km.
