OK, I'll be more specific. Someone will (should?) have done the math. How many aircraft have steamed-off the side of the runway or punched the undercarriage through the wings? This should be an integral part of the RA in order to identify the likelihood of an event/occurrence/incident. You could argue that go-arounds should be part of this assessment but that question really needs to sit with the aircraft operator (how many approaches, diversion options/risks? etc).

Perhaps Total Safety is part of the issue here? If one is to apply that concept, which is MOD policy, you need to work with all stakeholders which in this case would include the aircraft operators. Funchal is a very good example of risk management. There are endless videos of aircraft going around and some diverting; there are not endless videos of smouldering wrecks.
