barrel roll in 172

I competition or air combat, I'd agree. But if an airplane
can roll to 60 degree bank it can be held in the roll and it
will become inverted and then because of the inertia
continue back to upright. If you stop inverted you will
have problems because most engines will quit after a short
while, you might have some reduced aileron control and you
probably didn't hold forward elevator so you split S'd out
and roll control was returned. You just could not do a
competition grade hesitation roll.

If a Pitts S-2 starts a snap roll and the prop breaks off
the hub, does that mean a Pitts S-2 can't do a snap roll?
And if a Cessna 172 does a barrel roll, does that mean that
all Cessna 172 PILOTS are capable of doing barrel rolls?
