Sometimes, but usually not, at least if the pilot is competent. If
they were that dangerous, pilots would die during training, while
practicing them.

BTW, when the engine 'stalls', we call it an engine failure, to avoid
confusion.

Passengers may not use the same terminology.

When the passenger says "the engine stalled," it's highly unlikely
that he or she is referring to an aerodynamic stall, which does not
involve the engine.

If the passenger had any flight experience, which is likely for any
GA passenger, they too would have used the correct term (engine
failure).

That is irrelevant. Even a passenger can recognize an engine
st--failure, and an engine failure is a lot more dangerous than a
stall in the vast majority of cases.
