First condolences to the family, I hate it when we loose anyone in the aviation community!

Second, the above description is not totally accurate. The stall spin we deal with most often is referred to as the "moose hunter" stall. This is basicaly a low altitude cross control stall where you are maneuvering to look at something on the ground and your low n slow. You want a better look so you push in more rudder and get the ball out of center. Next thing you know is your on your back in a spin to low and too late to do anything but holler out the proverbial "oh S@#T". I know of quite a few instances where the pilot survives the crash but is pinned in the wreckage that then catches fire. I know of 3 where atleast one addition plane landed within minutes of impact and had to deal with listening to his buddy as the fire consumed him.

Please Please Please fly your plane first, look out the window second. If the strip is that small or that rough that you need to get your speed down so low that you are in danger of a stall to get a good look, go for option B and find another strip.
