One thing I found interesting here was a comment on the YT video from a CFI who taught his students rejected takeoffs using this method to successfully execute them in an emergency setting. However, they did it for a hitting a goose with the wing. Obviously I wasn't there so I couldn't see what happens and make the call, but what are y'alls thoughts on that? It seems like it would be better to keep flying and maybe do a lap in the pattern instead of risking running out of runway and rejecting the take off.
If the wing is damaged you may not complete a successful takeoff either. Considering 70% of all deaths happen during takeoff or landing, I think it's better to not leave the ground if there's any questions about the wing integrity.
Sorry, I meant to mention in the scenario that you were already in climb out phase and potentially close to running out of runway if you try to land straight ahead.
