An apparatus (12) for helping to reduce injury to a lower extremity (18, 20) of a driver of a vehicle (10) in the event of a vehicle collision. The apparatus (12) comprises one or more pedals (40, 42, 44) having an operative condition in which the pedals are engageable by a foot (20) of the driver to control a vehicle operation. The pedals (40, 42, 44) have an inoperative condition in which the pedals are not engageable by the driver's foot (20) to control a vehicle operation. A mechanism (50, 52, 54) moves the pedals (40, 42, 44) from the operative condition to the inoperative condition in the event of a vehicle collision.
