Did you fall off the first time you tried clipless pedals?

Thanks for the help guys!
I took them out on a cycle path and just would coast (single speed freewheel bike) and then unclip and the. Break to a stop leaning on my left foot had a few dodgy moments when I would topple to the right wide but managed to unclip before I hit the dirt.
I found that unclipping one foot and pedalling with just the one also helped me.
I think I'll stick with them going to take them on some more paths before the open road.
