The reason why I wrote the post in the first place was one to express concern regarding being attached to the adjustable footbrace assmebly, whether by the footstrap (which I currently do) or via some hardware.

If there is really enough force pulling between your leg and the boat, I think that you will be quite glad if footrest breaks loose before your leg does.
I have had a very hard pull on my leg just from a small ~1 meter breaking wave when I neglected to unstrap my leash--this was not enough to cause injury, but it was enough to really get my attention.
