Hi Denis
i suspect you pulled the handbrake on by an extra notch on that occasion, and it was just far enough to dislodge the wing nut adjuster and make it ride up onto the outside of the actuating lever thereby locking up the whole mechanism.
With the spring keeping things in place (as shown by Reckless), applying the handbrake normally moves the rod forwards and you will see the foot pedal drop down at the same time.
