So in the event of engine failure, without any options for a safe landing, why not stall the thing, and "float" down onto something soft, rather than hit a fence with a high forward velocity?
Stall equals risk of spinning.
Few people survive a spin close to the ground. On the other hand very few people get killed when you over or undershoot your intended landing spot............
As someone mentioned on here before, you are more resilient to for aft de/accellerations than vertical ones.
I know what I'd choose.
