The typical (tradional... convenient...) way that it generally goes... is also safe.
The pilot either taxis the plane out or has a helper (one of his buddies or just a fellow club member... whoever is handy... and knows halfway what is going on. ) carry the thing to the runway.
The pilot line the airplane up (if it wasn't carried out and set down already lined up...) usually with the tail almost even with his feet... and accelertes briskly to take off. The airplane is HEADED AWAY from everybody from the start ANYWAY.
since they are organized at the mid field... and the runway has enough room to take off on half or less of it.
Now you come around to land. If you placed all the pits down at the end you approach from you have THE MOST DANGEROUS SETUP YOU CAN MAKE. because stall on landing is more likely to put an airplane down beside the runway than a stall on takeoff. (which plants them IN the runway.)
