OK may I re-phrase my attempted quick comment into a wordy one then? In the dark it's hard to identify a suitable, open, smooth surfaced area, free of obstacles and wires to autorotate into, it's hard to gauge the wind direction and it's hard to judge the flare.
And after you have done all that it's probably going to be hard to walk away from it!
