stall speed as possible to stop the prop - ASAP!!!

In VFR nothing wrong with stalling the airplane if you have to.

Agreed. BTW: The video is actually very 'interesting' - and his commentary
and discussion of the events are even more interesting. After managing to
stop the prop (I don't know if I would have thought of that in the Oh Crap
moment - now I would), he lowered the landing gear. Because of the damage
to the cowl etc, the nose wheel did not extend. So Dave 'wiggled' the
rudder pedals which caused the nosewheel to extend and he landed safely.
After hopping out, he realised that the engine had broken off its mounts and
was hanging on by wires and pipes! He said in hind-sight, wiggling the
rudder pedals and yawing the plane from side to side probably wasn't that
smart, althought it sure made sense at the time.
