Lots of good advice and I am reminded of the adage that the superior pilot uses his superior judgement to avoid getting into situations where he has to use his superior skill.

That said if you are going to crash make sure the wings are level and that you are under control (ie dont stall or spin). Its the loss of control near the ground that invariably involve fatalities. Remember also to spin you need a stalled wing and yaw - so avoid doing this!

Also the other one to avoid is CFIT - get proficient at instrument flying and if you so end up in cloud inadvertently climb to the MSA as soon as possible.
