Hopefully with good instruction students won't have to wait until an experience like this to make this realization. When I do spin training I deliberatly pull up from the resultant dive fast enough that I'm getting some accelerated stall buffeting, to minimize building up load factors. I'm basically on the edge of a stall while pointing straight down. And then there's the accelerated stalls that can demonstrate the point IF you do them correctly (one IP taught to do them in a bank and simply get slow in the bank until you stall..great for not scaring people, um...poor to demonstrate the point that you can stall at any pitch attitude). You can even do these things with a cessna 150, although it helps to have an aerobat
