Rich Goodwin close call?

Anyone else at Dunsfold wings and wheels on Sunday and got a video of Rich Goowdin's display? Looked to me like Rich nearly stuffed the Pitts (G-EWIZ) in!
About half way through his display, at the far right hand end after a series of negative G tumbles it looked like he completely lost it and had a serious brown flying suit moment.
I'm sure it was not intentional, it was outside the airfield boundary towards the village, below the treeline and there were seemingly no control inputs for a while whilst rapidly heading for the ground in an uncontrolled manner, followed by a sudden, messy and very low recovery. It almost looked like he may have blacked out for a moment. The commentator (Brendan O'Brien) was shocked and didn't know what to say, followed by commenting that Rich was now collecting himself together again. All very odd.
