Landing yes, it's kinda silly to try to implement arresting cables for landing anyway. Takeoff though? If the system is broken, well then takeoff is delayed, but that wouldn't be an emergency. Planes can't take off all the time because of weather conditions.

Yeah same thing that happens because of weather conditions. Not an emergency.
