Intentional slow flight is the least likely way to get killed by stalling/spinning. An accelerated stall in a final turn with too much bank or a rapid airspeed drop in an unusual attitude in IMC are potentially a lot more dangerous.

...and for the purpose of fun, too! Actually, this may be a convenient way to check whether one will make a good pilot or not (wanting to do it again vs. being scared sh*tless).
