For an IFR flight, surely... But are you suggesting that you need to be above MSA for a safe VFR flight? Area sorrounding Innsbruck has a Grid MORA of 13800ft, but you can get in from almost any direction at 6000ft, perhaps even lower.
I agree with everything stickandrudderman posted, I'd just add it's usually not the bank at high altitude or close to the ground that will kill you, it's the steep turn at low airspeed while trying to maintain altitude that will eventially turn into a disaster - like the video shows very clearly.
In the end, the theory suggests that it is always better to make a controlled flight into top of trees than an uncontrolled flight into nice wide and long grass ruwnway.
