i've got no problems with riding fixed brakeless, it can be pretty safe depending on where and how you ride, but have you tried using toe clips and straps? do your feet not have a tendency to lift off the pedal slightly when your spinning fast down hills?
i ride without straps on my fixed polo bike but i think falling off is more common than on the road so the need to get out quick is more important
