There might not be something wrong with the gas pedal, but with your knee.
Something is wrong
If vehicle has a carb. (not fuel injected) a normal condition. When you step on the gas pedal the automatic choke is forced to close allowing a richer fuel mixture so the vehicle will start .
Because when you need to stop quickly, It would be nice to have something bigger to step on then trying to step on an object smaller, When you need to stop quick you foot will catch the large pedal.

No, if the gas pedal jams, it's not safe to tap it with your foot. Instead, you should focus on safely bringing the vehicle to a stop by shifting to neutral, using the brakes, and turning on your hazard lights. If necessary, steer the vehicle to the side of the road and seek assistance to fix the issue. Always prioritize safety in such situations.
Tapping a jammed gas pedal with your foot might temporarily dislodge it, but it's not a safe or reliable solution. Instead, if your gas pedal is stuck, you should safely bring the vehicle to a stop by shifting into neutral and using the brakes. It's best to have the issue inspected and repaired by a professional mechanic to prevent further problems or accidents.
Occasionally the gas pedal will have some resistance when you press it. You could check and lube gas pedal, gas cable, and throttle itself.

Put the transmission in neutral, pull over and park the vehicle when it's safe to do so. Then contact your trusted garage or mechanic for advice. I wouldn't drive it until it was fixed.
