You would have multiple heavy weights near your aircraft with unpredictable flight paths whilst your aircraft is probably slowing and could have reduced control - you could have 15 or so free flying objects around you whilst you are trying to deal with whatever you are dealing with very close to the ground.
Also, note the 'failed takeoff'.
Anyway, moving back to GCAP specific news...
