I let it, it fell on the floor, and I got the bar off me (not like it was going to squish me anyway).

If I BP alone without a spotter (or someone home) ... I leave off the clips for exactly that reason - if I get stuck and in any REAL trouble, I can dump the plates (just have to avoid hitting curious canines). That's just how I was taught many moons ago - probably not the best practice.
