Two things:

-The engineers that figured out the V speeds have spent a lot more time crunching the numbers than I possibly can when I hit V1, so I'll trust my training and their numbers. It works 99% of the time, and I'll take those odds.

-If you think that staying on the ground during a V1 cut is safer than taking the plane into the air, simply put you need to go back to training. A V1 cut is, in many aircraft, a complete non event. Mash the thrust levers, look out the window and fly the plane straight with your rudder and fly the numbers. Nice and simple as far as I'm concerned.

We're pilots, not Nascar drivers. We're trained to deal with aircraft moving at 130 knots better in the air than on the ground.
