No, it wouldn't, but it's still not safe. If things are that
worn and beat up, what else on the airplane is waiting to bite someone?
Further, if a pilot inadvertently enters an incipient spin because of
mishandling, he will, if trained properly, use opposite rudder to
recover, and he might do it fast and hard and get rudder lockup and
control loss.
In Canada spin training is mandatory for Commercial students. The
airplanes have to be maintained properly, like they should be anyway. I
see lots of horror stories when I look at some neglected airplanes that
are still being flown, and wonder why there aren't more accidents.
