pretty f'in amazing... these slow speed maneuvers are quite a sight and a feature of many airshows... I wonder why he didn't throttle up and regain airspeed...

stalled out from lack of air flow, a restart would be impossible, if it happens at higher altitudes you can restart from the air movement of the free fall, but, ah, he didnt have far enough to fall
