El Toro Poo Poo!
I've used a tubular tire on a clincher rim a couple of times.Once was to get home from a long ride and another time it was to get the bike to a bike shop a number of miles away. In both case I used the tubular tore because the clincher tire normally on the wheel was toast. In neither instance was there and "rolling of the tire off the rim". Actually, if you put a tubular tire on a clincher rim and pump up the tubular tire until it's hard, you'll find it's pretty hard to roll the tire off the rim without deflating it first.
