Surprised that no-one has mentioned flex take offs as a contributory factor.

There have been some serious brown trouser moments when flex calculations have been incorrect, even a correctly calculated flex take off gives less runway if something goes wrong. I can't find statistics on flex related accidents but I'm certain that the bean counters win with increased time on wing and maintenance costs for engines.
