When I redid my PPL in Oz in 1981 I read that the greatest percentage of single-engine low-time pilot deaths were caused by spinning in. So I asked for specific extra spin training and experience, and got a spin "endorsement" in my log book.
I still remember the unpredictability of a spin entry in a PA38. Some aircraft would flick on their backs. Even after about twenty the aircraft would sometimes surprise you.
