"Wrong handle" accidents

If a landing check list were used, wouldn't these problems be avoided?
On the initial ground roll of an aero-tow that went wrong very quickly 2
days ago, a club member released very promptly - so far so good. On the
ASW20, the gear and spoiler handles are literally 2 cm apart and he
raised the gear instead of opening the spoilers. No time for a check
list. Poor ergonomics, IMHO, and can completely understand how it
happened. No damage because of the grass, fortunately.
