Blind reliance on the managed speed "keeping you safe" gets pilots into trouble. I would imagine that the poster who has seen this "three times in seven years" was also relying totally on managed speed.
I also said "you'd be foolish to be anywhere near VLS unless you're flying in a straight line even on a nice day", suggesting that being anywhere near final app speed was a bad move unless you're actually about to land...
