Feasibility of a mid to high muay thai roundhouse for a streetfight?

I think a roundhouse to the leg muay thai style would be real effective unless you have a super unstable surface. Though, it seems that with the big follow through (you spin around if the kick doesn't land) how feasible is a mid to high roundhouse muay thai style? I am really thinking about the ability to balance with the extreme [over?]commitment, at least on a more unpredictable surface (sand, rocks, grass, with stuff around you on the ground, etc.)



What are your thoughts on this?
