A famous aviator once said that;
“a J-3 Cub can just barely kill
you”.
(Airplanes are generally safe only if left
in the hangar.)

Accidents
Question:
"Why would you want to practice stalling a plane such
as a IVP or IVPT that is quick to enter a spin and may or may not be
recoverable?"
Answer:
For the same reason you must demonstrate stalls to get your pilots license and
to do your bi-annual flight review: So you will recognize the approaching loss
of control and take to proper action. It's so much easier to learn at 3000' AGL
than at 100' AGL on short final with your wife and kids aboard.
Got another question for you. Would you really fly an airplane that would kill
you as soon as you got close to a stall? Every landing would be a nail biter.
