On the contrary. It does, and has happened in our group. The rider places a right foot to ground in front of the chain ring. The bike rolls forward, chain ring rips into right calf.
I am not following. Are we talking about the stoker placing their right foot on the ground? Or the captain? Because I don't see how the captain gets a chainring in his right leg...

If its the stoker, in our practice the stoker does not unclip until we are dismounting.
