The aircraft didn’t seem to be doing anything that might overstress the airframe immediately before the wing fell off…
I'd imagine that manoeuvre (inverse outside loop?) would put some pretty serious negative G on the aircraft, which could show up any weaknesses (fatigue, prior overstress, bad build.. any number of potential causes)

Not something you'd be doing in a Cessna (hopefully)
