Obstacle clearance etc

Something that has always puzzled me. Why is the takeoff minimum acceleration height 400 ft but the go-around is 800 feet? Also, an obstacle must be cleared by 35 feet on the net flight path. Surely if I were repairing the roof on my local church and a B777 with one engine on fire came over my head 35 feet above me this would be somewhat alarming?
