Noel,
You do make in interesting point in making that distinction. In that
situation , rolling inverted so as not to stall the mountain side wing
would seem the best way out alive without stalling or more probably
spinning in.

The main hindrance I think is most pilot's reluctance to actually
deliberately go inverted and steer from that position and without
stalling while inverted.

I'm interested in thoughts on this issue, am I nuts?
