Statistically, spinning off full power climb from an initial climb or go-around is more likely. However, this has exactly the same outcome as you describe - a stall or spin from too low to do anything about it.

The scenaro Crash 1 descrbes is not uncommon as well, and in both cases the moral is clear - know what the approach to the stall looks like, and stay well aware from it close to the ground unless you're trying to land.
