STALLS STILL THE KILLER THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN 
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1536-full.html#201719)
Although the industry has made progress in making light aircraft 
safer, stalls or stall/spins continue to be a major factor in fatal 
accidents, according to recent research done by Aviation Safety 
magazine. In its review of 338 fatal accidents, the magazine found 
that 18 percent were due to stall-related factors and the true 
percentage may be even higher. Many of these occur in the traffic 
pattern at low altitudes.

You just have to work harder to get killed in an Ercoupe.
