I agree with DaveReidUK. The roller coaster manoeuvre would have been next to impossible - it is only to be practised in the sim or at a reasonable altitude in the aircraft and always with great care. It had to be done for real years ago in a 707 by a BOAC crew at very low altitude after a stabiliser runaway soon after take-off in Canada. It was sucessful, but a very near run thing!
