Two hands are better but one is OK

Considering that at least 12 Boeing 777 pilots have encountered extremely high rotation forces in the last few years and in 11 of those cases the crew has aborted from speeds well above V2 (yes V2).

An extra tug on the wheel would have disconnected the autopilot that was engaged on the ground.

I would say "two hands are better but one is OK"
