I was always told that the biggest element of the manouvere that made it unsafe, was the tail stabilizor surfaces being pushed into the ground by the wind as your ground speed reduces. Try a 50 knot flare and turn, and you'll feel the downwind portion just doesn't feel quite right through the controls.
