Problematic
noun
1. a thing that constitutes a problem or difficulty.

It also means "untrue, unlikely or incorrect".

Was there a collision? I've seen the aftermath of one such aborted takeoff. The tow plane and glider collided (no human injuries). What is the success rate for this maneuver?

I've seen two cases that ended with zero damage.
