The best example I can think of is Wellington NZ, RWY 34. From memory the ILS minima is 500 ft (actually it is now 430 ft). If you reject the landing at say 100 ft and decide to accelerate at 800 ft, you really do run the risk of flying in to the ridge line on the northern shore of the bay around . There are spot heights there of over 990 ft!
Oh dear! Why bother flying into the terrain? You've got a whole harbour below, and a simple bank into the righthand circuit will deliver you to the South Pole, if you've got nothing else to do.
