On August 7, 2021, about 1030 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 172G, airplane, N4110L, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Athol, Idaho. The flight instructor and the pilot receiving instruction were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The flight instructor reported that after providing some ground instruction on spin maneuver recovery training, he explained that he would demonstrate the first spin and recovery during the flight. They flew to a practice area where they started the spin training at 7,000 ft mean sea level. The flight instructor initiated the first spin, and as the spin reached its fully developed stage, he performed the spin recovery procedure. During the recovery procedure the windshield shattered. Prior to the windshield shattering, the flight instructor noted that the airspeed did not exceed 110 mph. The flight instructor recovered from the spin and started a forced landing to the airplane below. The airplane landed and both were able to exit the airplane without injury.

A post-accident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed about 50 percent of the windshield had separated. No other anomalies were noted.
