I rode Crank Bros pedals (not the eggbeaters, but the ones with the same mechanism enclosed in a small platform) for quite a while and never had a problem with unintentional unclipping other than with really worn cleats.
The lack of resistance to float does make it very easy to unclip if you let your feet point other than forwards, but that's pilot error IMO. OTOH, I'm more or less a non-skidder except in dire emergency - I can well imagine that they wouldn't stand up to persistent yanking as well as other designs.
