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.
