I hear you. When my Dad introduced me to fixed gear riding in the 1970s, I thought it was fairly terrifying as well.
Also, a fellow masters teammate recently punched his femur ball through his pelvis because “he forgot to NOT stop pedaling” while riding his fixed gear. Really messed him up...all sorts of hardware was installed and will remain installed. I get it, though...I’ve almost been bucked off a few times due to forgetting to NOT stop pedaling.
