And another thing

Just how many airplanes hit fuel trucks and crash having tried to continue the take-off on your planet? Here on Earth, it is just about unheard-of. But, going off the end due to poor brake usage (stopping technique KMDW), due to trying to reset the flaps past V1 (KCRW), going off the end because of lining up on the wrong runway (KLEX), going off the end by aborting past V1 when continuing the take-off would have been safer (read Boeing's report on aborted take-offs) is all too common.
