Takeoff distances

Also remember that density altitude will affect your height for a 180
back to runway.

i.e. two large men in a Grob, field elevation 3,700 ft msl, air temp
107F, rope break at 220 ft above field.

It was not enough altitude for at least one such senario. They plowed
into trees short of the runway.

....having executed the 180 degree turn immediately, with optimum
bank, g-load, and airspeed control -- as always?

Do you have enough information to make that claim, that it was
simply a matter of density altitude? If you do, then perhaps we, or
at least you, already have all the metrics that are needed. Perhaps
you can share them with us, for future use?
