Sadly I think had he started higher this may not have happened as he may have had enough speed and 'energy' to complete the turn

The cloudbase was between 2-300 feet and windy on the Sunday and its debatable whether the display should have taken place at all on such a poor weather day.

Utmost respect for the Pilot but if you push the limits they will one day bite you
