Surely, where conditions for successful forced landing are unlikely the best thing to do on a standard takeoff would be to start a gentle climbing turn at 50 feet to circle up over the airfield before reaching a safe height to leave the area?

I realise ATC mostly isn't geared to this, but where options are limited, this has to be the best solution, doesn't it? Shouldn't controlled airfields with limited forced landing options (particularly built up areas) review their procedures?
