Losing one engine on takeoff can be worse than losing both. If you are flying below minimum controllable airspeed, critical engine out, that is worse. Many aircraft have a best rate of climb speed very close to the above. If you lose the critical engine and have found yourself at too slow of an airspeed, you will roll right over on your back. There is no recovery from it unless you have a few thousand feet below you to play with.
