I may have got this wrong, but I thought there was more risk from over-ruddering (slipping) then using aileron (cross controlling) as a (flawed)method in correcting the initial error. A skidding turn in comparatively safer.
I think you're getting yourself muddled here? You could say any out of balance flying is cross controlled. However, a slipping turn is actually a very safe manouver even though you are cross controlled and "over ruddering", whereas a skidding turn (also over ruddering) is dangerous and a true recipy for a spin! What I was trying to illustrate was that by being afraid to bank, you are far more likely to try to turn (perhaps subconciously ... perhaps not!) by adding into-turn rudder and skidding. This is effectively adding yaw in the wrong direction, slowing the already slower inside wing and inviting it to stall first causing rotation and a spin. This may not be the most aerodynamically accurate description of what I'm trying to show, but I hope it gives you the idea.
Do not do skidding turns at low level , slipping turns are quite different, but that's been covered loads of times before. Having said the above, I was not suggesting out of balance turns at any point anyway ... what I said was co-ordinated but well banked.

Sorry, I see you pretty well answered my point to Justinmg in your following post. I really must read subsequent posts before jumping in both feet first
