A very close call for the Turkish display F16. Pilot error or mechanical failure?

Seem to recover satisfactorily but that looked pretty sketchy to me.

I've seen the display a few times at RIAT etc and it is always one of the better ones, I wonder if he got a bit over confident.

Cripes, that doesn't look good. I hope lessons are learnt post haste.
