Gas pedal type foot pegs are the answer here.  That's why I put the Seaward
rudder pedals in my Solstice.

Assuming you're talking about rudderless craft, you could put two footpegs on 
each track.  If the first peg breaks, just slide the second into place.  A few
ounce penalty on overall weight and a few bucks for the extra pedals.  This 
also lets two different sized folks share a kayak without needing to adjust the
pedals.

This won't solve the problem of a track breaking, though.
