At the end of the day even experience can kill.
Remember the Chief Pilot (shiploads of experience in PNG) of a certain operator who, in '79, attemped a go-around at Manari, FROM THE GROUND, in a Gomad and ended up vertical amoungst the trees half way up the ridge immediately to the north of the strip, the result of being hot and high on approach with nowhere to go. 14 on board, all perished!
Just another one of those places where you're committed long before the threshold!
