I think go arounds can have a certain element of risk.

Capt. on a 737, while going around (aircraft on the runway) at KLGA (NEW YORK, USA), climbing to 2500feet, when suddenly, while passing 1200 feet, ATC screams: MAINTAIN PRESENT ALTITUDE, TRAFFIC, A SEAPLANE, AT 1500FEET.

My level off was a little bit less smooth than I would have liked.

There are a number of airports in the USA in which a go around can be a bit sporting. There was an incident at KLAS (LAS VEGAS USA) with a near mid air during a go around. (UAL and AA).

All flying is serious business, but when crowded skies are making go around less safe, we can't take things lightly
