I conducted a crash test in 1978 with a Cessna 152 when I stalled it about 12 feet over the runway. I survived. My flight check instructor survived. And, the airplane survived. I also passed my check ride. Don't know if the ELT activated.

Heh. While I doubt you stuck the landing after stalling at 12 feet, how many times did you ‘land’ so to speak?
The landing gear of the 152 are quite resilient ;-)

I’ve gone up in hundreds of Cessnas, haven’t landed in many, though.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Did they have ELT’s in ‘78?

Wouldn’t Cessna have thousands and thousands of crash test results already? They’ve only been around for 88 years.

“I conducted a crash test in 1978 with a Cessna 152 when I stalled it about 12 feet over the runway.”
12 inches is typically a bit better.
