A spin is STABLE. You cannot dive into the ground at Vne + from a spin.

There are aircraft which go into a spiral dive after a couple of turns, so
be sure to know the spin characteristics fo yours before attempting a spin
in IMC.

That cannot happen if they remain in the spin. There are indeed some
aircraft, my current ride is one, that will not remain in a spin, even with
full prospin controls. Most of the aircraft being flown back in the
twenties and early thirties did not have that problem and would remain in a
spin quite nicely.

I will admit that my current ride was designed in 1936 and manufactured in
1942 for the Army Air Corps. Quite a few of the WWII aircraft did NOT have
real good spin characteristics.

Many aircraft designed and certified AFTER WWII were never spun even for
certification.
