C172 pilot stuck 70 feet in the air (last Tuesday).

The 40 knot stall speed of the 172 is a big plus when things go bad.?

Another example of accurate reporting. Fire?

Maybe "risk of"? (Fuel leaking).  With even  minor structural damage and in those circumstances turn off all electrical items (Master switch)  Should actually be done before hitting the trees. Use mobile in preference to aircraft radio. Nev

I could think of nothing worse, than being stuck up in the sky for hours on end, unable to get down!

Dead or injured is probably worse....?

I suspect being stuck down in a submarine would be worse.
