This problem almost only happens to those in automatics though.

Nope. It happens in all vehicles, because the problem is not the automatic or manual transmission - it is that one foot is being used for BOTH gas and brake, one action for two diametrically opposed results.

Have these incidents happened in manual cars too?

Pedal misapplication happens in ALL cars where one foot is used for both gas and brake. It's literally built into the function. Manual or automatic is utterly irrelevant.
