Quote from C152 manual page 7-15:
"Installation of the lock will secure the ailerons in a neutral position and the elevators in a slightly trailing edge down position."
The elevators are not locked in a neutral position. (That 'slightly' would actually be a large 'nose down' in flight.)
END.

Very hard to be sure from the quality of the video but certainly looks like some left rudder there Teddy, also possibly up elevator just before the break - almost as though it was a deliberate spin entry. Maybe trying to correct one thing (drift?) and not noticing something else (pitch) going awry, overload in an relatively unfamiliar environment? I've been there with other activities...!
