Had that been the case then a zoom climb to force landing attempt or at least a higher ejection would probably have ensued.

RWY 36 TODA is 3750 m. In this case, I wouldn‘t during normal operations expect a light jet to crash through the fence at the far end. In other words, I wonder whether one could/should put a question mark on an airshow-style take-off (all of the aircraft seem to very low) from an airport during normal operations, where corresponding precautions have not been taken (such as stopping traffic on the crossing road).
