Especially when there is a perfectly good housing estate for them to crash into, just over the fence.
Well yes, there is that, there isn't an awful lot of choice straight ahead on 23 (which the people living there know perfectly well and keep complaining to their councillors about). You can backtrack and use the whole runway so that you're crossing the airfield boundary at 600' rather than 500', but there will still be several seconds during which an EFATO is going to be really bad news.
