Good thought. However, the rate of descent in a stall is quite considerable plus the amount of height lost during recovery. I guess it depends how close to the ground you are and the controllability of your aeroplane. Although, you're only likely to find yourself in this situation close to the ground. Best avoided I think. I have heard tales of people stalling into trees when there's been no alternative!
