professordave- yes, that is a dangerous situation!
another tricky thing about pedals is the forward/aft positioning. some pedals are thicker than other brands like razo (raiser, literally) where others are thin. depending on where the brake pedal is and gas pedal sometimes it's better to bring the gas pedal closer to your foot allowing better blip with less foot movement. but then again if one make a mistake of double pedaling due to suck-at-driving-because-i-like-playing-with-dolls-and-stuffed-animals-and pillows, then they might be in for a big surprise.
