152's had bent horizontal tail spars as a result of botched spin recoveries.

I think thats a bit of wishful thinking recovering the dreaded 152 from a spin just take your hands and feet off everything and the little bird cannot wait to recover herself.
Normally a spin will stabilise at a constant speed and is not a high speed high G episode like a spiral dive.
Apart from that I agree with you that once developed unless you are into aeobatics the idea is to recover but 152 the spin challenge of the century break 152s ? I think not!
Probably bent horizontal spars because they thought they were in a spin when infact they were in a spiral dive and thats why spinning should be taught.
