Yup, I fell in one once at Crystal. It was hard to quell that panicky feeling. I quit using bindings with 3 pins after that. Even getting the bail undone, my boot wouldn't come out easily. You don't have much room to move around: i felt trapped without a lot of options. I don't ski too close to big trees anymore.
