Gentle take-offs at high speed

Statistically, nearly half of all accidents occur during landing,

The Nall Report indicates 30% of all accidents occur during landing, not
50%.

It also indicates that only 3% of all fatal accidents occur during landing.

One could argue that nearly every fatal accident is related to the
landing... Unless the person died during a mid-air collision and it was
obvious that they were dead before they hit the ground, they died upon
coming in contact with the ground (i.e. 'landing')... sick-grin

There are 3 ways to die:
1. During ground operations (i.e. before the aircraft has left the ground)
2. During flight (i.e. mid-air collision)
3. Upon impact with the ground (i.e. 'landing')

The recent accident up in KT where the airliner departed from the wrong
(i.e. too short) runway was a landing accident since they hit the berm or
whatever at the end of the runway and became airborn... It's rather
unlikely that *this* killed anyone, but the subsequent 'landing'
definitely did...
