Nothing to do with the aircraft, it's training and experience. Spinning out of a turn and subsequently hitting the ground with fatal results is all too common, the turn from base to final is the usual gottcha. Allied issue is that very few people these days are given spin training and very few of the training aircraft are certified for spinning. In any event, entering a spin on the turn from base to final is not going to be salvageable by anyone.
