My guess, tail section not working, maybe broken fuselage, but ailerons
still working. If elevator is stuck, and you are ready to bail, why NOT
roll the ship to make it easier to get out?

Us fat guys joke about this all the time (having to get inverted to pry
ourselves out)

If the elevator is stuck then which way up you are is not going to make
any difference to the force keeping you in the cockpit -- only speed is.

Rolling inverted is going to put you into a half loop, with the initial
G force the same as it was the right way up, and then buiding.

If you don't have control of the elevator then you may well overspeed.
Or pull too many Gs. Or both.

It'll be easier to get out of the cockpit once the wings are gone.
