If people insist on using SPDs wrong then they'll not work.. first: don't use cleats with M-marking (M for multirelease), second: tighten down the tension screw at least a full turn, and third: make sure you have adjusted the angle of the cleat on your shoe so that you don't get to "clip out angle" without wanting to..
I have had 3 unclips i didn't want on my SPDs since starting using them, first was due to a wrongly adjusted cleat + too loose tension on the pedal (at least that's what i suspect), second was because a small stone stuck on the shoe by the cleat had blocked the cleat from being securely locked in, third i don't know, but i changed the pretty worn cleats and have not had problems since..
Skid all the time, run brakeless, and 48x17 gear, about 75 GI.
