Well, the accident statistics make pilots look pretty bad in that
regard.

If I stalled my aircraft in turbulence at my operational ceiling and got into a spin
part way down, it almost certainly wouldn't wind up in the stats at all. With a
Cirrus, it almost certainly *will* wind up in the stats. The accident statistics
aren't a valid indication of how well pilots do in this case.
