"The Downwind Turn".

The man is clearly a fool. If the downwind turn was so deadly I would be dead many thousands of times over.

And to some it might be deadly, if susceptible to disorientation.

I would like to see his take on loading it to a knife edge, right to the region of reversed command. Lose a knot and you are going down. Any turn other than into wind would bring you unstuck, if his theory is correct.
