"I was just referring to a wings-level unaccelerated stall, for which you'd generally need a high attitude."
But accidents just about never happen from this situation. The slow, unco-ordinated turn is what does people in.
Some good few years ago Mike Valentine in the gliding movement wrote a number of articles regarding spin awareness training (they still do it pre solo in gliders). At the time, he was advocating instructors demonstrated the typical slow skidded turn to students. If done properly many (not all) gliders could go from what looked like a normal attitude, normal airspeed, balanced turn to a fully developed spin, with the _only noticeable_ warning being "progressive rearward movement of the stick".
Very convincing when done properly, but very difficult to do consistently. Of course some people manage it every now and then without trying too hard. Thats the problem.
