Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana

Maybe someone can enlighten me on this.Would I be correct believing that the rod is falling out when the drivers foot is releasing the pedal at a much faster rate than it is in normal use?It seems that it puts a lot of force on the restraining item that holds the rod in place.I think I'm going to try and install a collar around the rod and some kind of limiter to allow the pedal to go back only as far as a point that the rod has minimal clearance from the piston.I don't think it can hurt.Any thoughts?
