Blame Isaac Newton for inventing gravity, the conservation of momentum and the like. It's all his fault! How many people were injured in bicycle accidents before his inventions cursed this planet?

You usually become unclipped in the process, at least with eggbeaters. Tried it a couple of times and it was no biggie.

It hurts a lot,the reason i no longer ride spuds,-whiplash /damaged nerve/broken finger,and that was at under 15mph.

Anything you've heard about automatically clipping out is a lie
you may get one foot off as youre reaching for the ground,but thats mostly luck or from the unnatural angle your body is contorting into.

ride clipless--wear a helmet

Not true. May I present exhibit A to the left. Though with the "usually" context I'll go with it.

Remember I have two qualifiers: "usually" and "with eggbeaters."
