The statistics say nothing of the sort, they show that RTOs at high speeds, especially beyond V1, are at least, 100 times more hazardous than those at low speeds. That is not the same as saying here is NO hazard at low speeds. Try a reject at V1 in a Citation at Newport, RI (2,990' and I've been there in one) and you will go off the end. Just like you would rejecting 10 knots past V1 departing KDOV at gross weight with a rotate increase speeds. That's overspeed V2 for you Airbus types.
