However departing from a quarter of the available runway, whereas you planned to use twice that, with a jetliner full of passengers, is a bit stupid and very likely to lead to some damage.
The situations are very different until the example I gave becomes one of a crash with a contributory factor of an unstable approach - hardly unheard of. Rare, but I’d guess less rare than instances of failed takeoffs resulting from using a shortened runway where the pilot has been asked “this is the TORA, are you sure?” and “are you realllly sure?” before insisting it’s all fine.
