This is actually a maneuver that's demonstrated and practiced very
early in flight training, so I'm sure all pilots and student pilots
have experienced this. But your calculations are fairly correnct--a 2
minute turn won't cut it. It's usually demonstrated with a 60 degree
bank turn. I'm not sure of the timing, but i'd guess 30 sec or less.

You meant 45 degree bank. A 60 degree steep turn would require a parachute.

no it wouldn't

If it's exactly 60 degrees, it wouldn't. Beyond 60 degrees, however, a
parachute is required. See FAR 91.307(c)(1).
