Anyone that uses flex thrust on a CRJ on a short runway has had this thought, I know I have:

"Holy crap. That's all the runway that's left at V1?"

Having to stop this thing right at V1 taking off in somewhere like Panama City would have me sucking my seat straight into my colon. I'm not even gonna THINK about aborting a takeoff AFTER V1. Even flex thrusting in DTW, you're a pretty decent ways down that 12,000 ft runway. If you're doing Flaps 8 instead of Flaps 20, you're at about 144 kts on top of that.

Like most everyone else has said, except in some extemely rare occasions, getting off the ground and coming back to land is safer than a high speed abort.
