I haven't yet, but came close once.
At my (then) homefield, not too long soloed on the type, I was training an engine out landing, misjudged, and had to make the last turn impossibly close. Instead of simply applying full power, getting the bird level, gain speed and go around, no, I absolutely HAD to complete the exercise. Thinking back on it, I still don't understand how she didn't slip, perhaps I did have the good sense to push the nose down to keep up the airspeed even though I was quite close to the ground. Luckily the Rans S6 is one sturdy and forgiving plane.
It is in all the textbooks and I lived it verbatim: the more things go wrong, the more focused we become on our first intention, and plans B and C are driven off our mind. Tunnel vision is what they call it, I think.
