I implied that if the airplane were flown in a condition where the stall speed that exceeded the design maneuvering speed the wing spars would fail. As has been pointed out, this is not the case. I should have said: "If you fly an airplane in a condition where the stall speed is greater than its maneuvering speed Va you will likely be exceeding the allowable loading." For more on the topic see FAR 23.335 and 23.337. My bad. Sorry for the confusion.
