Well, I raced at Kissena in 2014, and I don't remember that happening. The rail is on the right, and it's not hard to reach your left foot in that position. It's a little harder to reach your left foot, but you could cinch your right foot before getting moving. I don't remember what the toe strap folks did, but I'm pretty sure no one received help at the rail.
