From memory the K13 has springs on the rudder pedals, so that when one
cable snapped the springs pulled the other pedal to the floor and thus
the rudder to full-on in one direction. I suspect this is true for many
other gliders.

This definitely applies to DG-500/505, too. Two people killed on an
airfield next to mine due to this.

I could see where a strap over once toes would be helpful.
It would serve two functions at the same time.
