Maintain thy airspeed.

I don't know, at such altitude a stall recovery seems complicated, but then again I've never flown STOL aircraft before. However - since he banked the stall, I'm leaning also towards him not being coordinated.

I got that vid about 20 minutes after the "accident" happened. Like any video, there's only so much you can see, but after looking at it pretty hard, my initial, immediate, intuitive response seems to be confirmed. He misjudges the approach path, and gets himself high-α with some power. Then things settle a bit, followed by the last moments prior to the stall, incipient spin sequence. In that sequence as some folks have commented, he appears not to lower the nose at all, appears to add little if no power, and appears to use out-spin aileron while adding zero rudder. In short, he appeared to do nothing correctly. Shock-lock? or just didn't know what he was doing? In either case, in my opinion, the probable cause will be "mechanical": "faulty wiring between the headset earcups".
