That aircraft did not simply transition from straight and level flight to a forward slip. It also added power and used the elevator to pitch up. Since question that was asked was whether a slip can be used to maintain positive pitch control in the event of elevator failure, the video is a non-sequitur. But it does have pretty balloons.
