They also have a fully functional aircraft and plenty of altitude and power to get themselves out of the maneuver before it becomes a critical issue - they're not in a broken craft struggling to stay airborne and/or perform a "successful" landing (where "success" = one you can walk/swim away from). | |

Minor correction to flare details. It's not that the aircraft is not stable, it's that there's no control authority.
