Thus there is a much lower risk of getting into an accident on takeoff,
but takeoff accidents result in a higher rate of fatalities.


Though my two accidents followed landings, there have been a couple
takeoffs that scared me far more than any landings.


Same here. I can't think offhand of any landings were I thought I might
crash, but I vividly remember almost taking out the localizer antenna on
takeoff once.

You pull the yoke back to take-off. :-)
