This ATSB report on the Bankstown Cirrus 22 accident is worth reading. It includes extracts from NTSB reports on similar Cirrus 22 landing accidents in USA.
A low energy go-around (as from a bounced landing) can be quite critical if the speed is close to the stall when the go-around occurs. Old warbirds such as the Mustang and Sea Fury could be a handful on low energy go-aounds. Even a low powered aircraft such as Cessna 172 can yaw and pitch up quite markedly as full throttle is applied if a go around takes place from a bounced landing or after several bounces.
I would hazard a guess and say that most flying school instructors (especially new graduates) teach practice go arounds from short final at 200 feet where there is plenty of time to correct mishandling. On the other hand few would demonstrate a deliberate high bounced touch down where speed is close to the stall, energy is low and the aircraft pitches up and yaws and rolls at full power. of course this would be a dual exercise and not practiced by solo students.
