What was his "out" once he was inverted and slow?

I assume the proper recovery is to pull back the power to a
manageable level, unload the airplane, and get the nose below the
horizon in order to build some airspeed. Once the airplane is flying
again, feed in the power while rolling level, then pull...



Yeah, exactly. Can't see any other way out at the top, but I would
have thought he should have recognised the mess a lot earlier, i.e.,
at or before reaching 90deg.
Looks like he was braving it out for the benefit of the crowd.

A bit like this guy..

The show must go on, huh?

The strange thing about the Yak near-pancake is that the guy comes
over the top with plenty of airspeed, gets the nose down, and then
doesn't pull enough G's until very late when he's past the vertical.
Another quarter or half G after he'd gotten the nose down and he
wouldn't have had a memorable recovery.



Yes, well that;'s all in the name of getting it close enough to make it
spectacular for the crowd of course.

This guy was less lucky..
