Maybe, but it could also have been a broken control.

R.I.P.
Some of these sports can be pretty daring. It raises philosophical questions of why man does what he does. Ultimately it traces to spirituality. Psychology can only tell us how, spirituality tells us why.

Looks to me like he was having trouble and tried to roll out of the inverted position but didnt have enough altitude.

I’m sure they had done this numerous times before. It seems that trouble would be met with more power at that point, we may never know.

Almost 21,000 hours in all types and I never entertained the idea of walking out onto the wing especially while inverted!
The stunt is entertaining but allows no room for error. The pilot and his wing walker died doing what they loved to do. May they rest in peace.

You can tempt fate all you like, but in the end everyone obeys the laws of physics. Perhaps someone can explain why a rational person would participate in such stunts. Truly brave people simply do not behave that way.

Turns out the her ex-husband was the pilot and she was enganged to “Rock” her mechanic. All theories aside, their children lost both parents.

Oh, how sad! A wing-walker whom we had seen perform here died a couple of years ago, after being burned when the plane’s engine caught fire. What an incredibly dangerous occupation!
As someone said below, we can only guess why people do this.

I must admit, some of the stunts are nuts.
