It looks like he might have been regaining control near the end but he was too near the ground that it was too late.

One slip up, one mistake and you're dead. This is a tough business.

The aircraft just didn’t have enough kinetic energy to fully complete the maneuver and was too near the ground to recover

The pilot may have temporarily blacked out...then it was too late to recover.
