Correct! We fly gliders/sailplanes 2 knots above stall in a 60
degree bank for HOURS...while circling in lift. How many glider
accidents are there (stall/spin) vs how many airplane accidents are
there (stall/spin)?

TRAINING! With TRAINING, it is safe to do the same in a C152!
You MIGHT even go soaring!!! (Note: soaring is when you are
going up and gliding is when you are going down). :-)
