I've hit the neutral once or twice by accident, I don't try to hit it on purpose as I am afraid the whole thing will come grinding to a halt. One of the reasons why I don't use foot retention is I like to put my feet up on the fork crown during long descents & let it rip (while breaking occasionally - I'm not that crazy).
Heh heh, yeah, I've been thinking about foot pegs on the fork blades as well. Could probably repurpose some handlbar ends. But that won't help my a$$.
