They're fine on a track bike, and arguably valid retro porn despite the challenging operating procedure. It's not as though there was a better option at the time.

Old films of crashes show riders locked to their bikes as they crash, because everyone used to tighten ther straps too much.
The M71 was not much more dangerous.
The Look pedal was popular because it released in crashes. -

You can't be certain that they tightened their straps too much. If they stayed attached to the bike, you only know that they tightened them enough 😀
There are two things which are fine, and one which will break your ankle. Staying attached to both pedals or releasing from both pedals are fine. Staying attached to just one pedal isn't.
Current track (sprint) practice is to use polymer webbing straps over super stiff clipless, which keeps you attached on both sides even more effectively than the old leather straps and slot cleats. -

Near perfect.
... apart for all the faults. Miss-matched yellows on saddle, bar tape & tyres (yellow stripe here alone is anti). Bad pedals, bottle cage, miss-aligned cranks & valves & dustcaps (dustcaps ffs!) ... I could go on.
Direct to anti, do not pass go >>>

I disagree slightly, not anti but some nice and some less so components built rather averagely onto an unexceptional frame.
The Roberts is lovely, I will even excuse the glass pedals and mismatched quick link.
