I imagine the problem it forcing yourself to fly fast enough with the ground rushing up. Should brief what parts of the airfield or surroundings are landable, just because you took off from a paved runway doesn't mean you have to struggle to get back there. I'm only an ex glider pilot from a big field so I usually had options. Important to pull the cable release not the airbrake in the heat of the moment though
