Quite often Vr is faster than V1...

Knowing this, but being only SE rated, I've a question:

It seems that certain problems become apparent only at Vr. So why not use
that as the "size of runway/weight of aircraft" factor?


I'm also curious as to whether the aircraft in this accident gets the same
type of runup as do the little Cessnas I fly. One part of this is always
pulling the yoke back and confirming elevator movement (in the proper
direction).
