"S" turns on final are a bit scary. More than a few have spun it in due
to them. Here's another one where "S" turns seem to be involved. I can
't picture being on short final and doing the kind of "S" turns to allow
_two_ departures in front of you.

I remember there was another one a while ago, a lady student pilot spun
it in after the tower requested "S" turns for spacing, and this was on
one of her first solo flights!

And this one is scary, just cause it seems like one of those that are
true mechanical failures:

I wonder if he knew about this history of the bird that he was renting:

With all due respect, if you aren't capable of flying s-turns without
stalling, then you should get some additional instruction and practice
until you are a competent pilot.
