Ahhh yesss...the old 'Broken Return Spring Ploy'! 

Twice, on two different cars, I've had the spring break on the accelerator-once 
while coming down a mountain road on the edge of the middle of nowhere...

However, I wasn't terribly aware of the return spring on the clutch m/c-thanks. 
(Now I have another thing to worry and obsess about!) ;-)
