I am not so sure about stalling the aircraft, or departing from controlled flight. Stall the a/c and the vertical speed increases at an alarming rate, even close to the ground. Going in under control a lot of energy is absorbed by the wings etc..

Have a look at the clip below and see proof of a high chance of survival if you go in under control. these guys went in under control, albeit inadvertently. Their ground speed would have been relatively high also considering the Density Altitude. Same goes for an attempted turn back after an EFATO. Land ahead, under control! Stall or depart from controlled flight I.E., Stall/Spin, you will die. Period.
