I think we all accept that spin training was stopped due to more aircraft being lost practicing them than in real situations.
This is what "everyone knows", but I've never found any research which demonstrated it as a fact.
I can't see how spin training at a suitable height, in a suitable aircraft, should lead to any increase in training accidents. In gliding we had a spate of accidents when a new type of trainer arrived some years ago, but since its (different) spinning characteristics were properly understood it's now recognised as the best spin trainer available.
