What next, you seem to have some strange ideas about who has spin accidents.
I have no idea at all. What I said was: "I am not aware of any..." by which I meant that of all training accidents that happend in my part of the world since I started flying (and that I heard or read about) zero were spin related. There were mid-air collisions, forced landings, hard landings, gear collapses and one accident caused by a physiological/medical condition. But not one spin.

Looking at your ASF statistics "Of the fatal instructional accidents, 64.4% of them occurred during manoeuvring" I wonder if "manoeuvring" might have anything to do with spin training itself? And if proper stall avoidance and awareness training could have prevented many of these accidents? Maybe?
