Exactly Bose. The simple fact is that since spin training was taken out of the syllabus both here and the US there has been a steady drop in the number of spin related accidents and fatalities.

Not spinning in the first place is the key, not how well you get out of it once you are in one. If you spin turning from base to final below 1000ft, you are dead, no matter how good your spin recovery is.

Here's a graph from the FAA about when stall/spin events occur.
