if you do an RTO in a disabled aircraft...screw it up, you're still on the ground, plowing through the grass.
And people still die!

then a plane, that can't be flown that crashes is more safe?
If the plane couldn't fly, you wouldn't have got airborne, thus there would be no choice but to abandon the takeoff.

In the majority of cases, the aircraft is flyable, therefore if above V1 you continue.

Time after time I see all these planes that tried to fly it off only to crash..and who knows maybe the plane was heavy, the pilots weak, they screwed up...we all know the results...in that flight, they should have aborted....
Care to provide a list? a/c type, country, airline nationality. You seem to think you know the reason these crashes happened, but yet you keep failing to provide any factual information.

Hey if you get to V1, the wing falls off, are you going to pull it up?
That would likely end up in a fireball and loss of life whatever happens, so really is irrelevant.

ssg, you fly biz jets? correct? Has it occured to you, that they are light compared to most airliners and accelerate far quicker, rotate at lower speeds, therefore use less runway.
