That's just so that if you feel the need to really STOMP on the brakes during an emergency stop, the floorboard is released to drop down at the front so it won't get in the way!! 
It is handy in those full on emergency situations, but probably not going to be used by most or necessary too often - still, it's better to be there & make that full on emergency stop work for you rather'n having the floorboard get in the way!!

It’s for the brake to travel downward more, during a forceful emergency application.

If you're not standing on the brake lever, I know the floorboard will support a bouncing 270lbs... But mash that brake pedal down and it will release as designed.

See page 16 of your operator's guide.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
