60 degrees when low and slow?? in a 60 degree AOB turn your pulling 2g, and as a result your stall speed goes up by 41%.... No argument required.
The initial actions after a cable break are attain safe speed near ground, before pulling airbrakes, initiating turns etc etc. given that safe speed near ground is 1.5Vs, that gives you a 9% margain for error, and that is in dead smooth air. Lets chuck in some wind sheer (i seem to recall this happeneing in the extreme low levels of the atmosphere) not to mention thermals etc etc.
