Checkboard:

Of course - those are the decisions pilots are paid for. Sometimes getting airborne will end your life.
If all is properly attented to before takeoff, and if everything is normal at 80 knots, I believe becoming airborne is far less likely to end your life than aborting above V1 in typical circumstances.
