required to demonstrate a stall and recovery off a climbing turn, so I suspect it may well be an exercise somewhere in your training. You'll most likely sit there in a ridiculous attitude waiting for the stall and wondering how on earth anyone manages to do this accidentally.
I've been required to demonstrate a stall and recovery off a descending turn, the spin-in-from-final-turn scenario, and I was left wondering how on earth anyone manages to do this accidentally.

But I know that they do, and that they die.

What this has done to me is make me very careful when I misjudge the wind on base leg and overshoot - I try to recognise the scenario and positively think to myself "shall I chop the power and tighten the turn, or shall I do something more sensible?".
