Cessna 152 spin integrity

I was watching the 50-something spins done in a 152 on youtube and it
got me thinking;
I seem to remember being taught during commercial training that spins
do not greatly increase G forces on the airplane, is this true?
I also remember being warned "no spin is exactly the same or
predictable, so DON'T do them solo! Was this just a warning from my
school so we wouldn't screw up their gyros or are spins indeed
possibly very dangerous inherently for some reason?
I would like to try some solo next time I'm up just for fun but may
take a willing CFI along (or fellow pilot) just in case.
Would 50-something spins compromise a Cessna 150 or 152's structure?
Another thing I'd be concerned about was getting overly dizzy beyond a
handful of spins.

Hi Rick;
I'm not trying to be confrontational here but I notice you are a
commercial pilot. I can't for the life of me rectify why you don't know
the answers to the questions you are asking here. I find it incredulous
that a commercial pilot could go through the process, then pass the
flight test and not know these answers.
