Part of the pilot training program is inducing a stall and recovering. 
It's fun, as you pull the stick back until the nose seems to be pointed at 
the heavens and the stall warnings are blaring in your ears. Then the nose 
drops like a rock. 

I wonder how that fits with the sin metaphor?  fwiw, I always was able to 
recover. People die when they panic and pull the stick back with all their 
might. You've got to push it forward and get airspeed back, which is 
counter intuitive.
