Absolutely vital. Back in the 70s, the CFI of the company I rented from, insisted on demonstrating a spin to a newly-hired instructor, inspite of the prominent NO SPINNING placard. The spin went flat, the CFI was killed and the new instructor was crippled for life.
The instructor with whom I did most of my flying training back in the sixties was also killed in an AA-1 spinning accident. Sadly his student also died. New Year's Day 1971 - always remembered.
