I am sure many people have done worse stuff but it did not end up on film. There are plenty of clowns around.
I know one man who was flying along in poor vis, in and out of IMC, and a wind turbine blade passed right in front of him. He never did that again...
The ONLY options you have when entering IMC inadvertently at low level are an immediate 180* turn to get out of it straight away or if you have the IF skills an immediate climb to above safety altitude and pick up a radar service.
I think a 180 is the best option unless one has a GPS running a real topo chart. A climb straight ahead, say +500fpm, could just take you into a hill.
But why fly so low to start with?
