There is something to be said for experience both in the type of jet he was flying (minimal) as well as the type of flying he was doing. The former he didn't have any, the latter I don't know.
He learned a lot in his last seconds I imagine.
Using aerobatic waivers as an example you don't start off by getting a ground level authorization. You chip away from your 1500' minimum. 1000, 500, 100, etc until you have enough experience to safely do such things. You start small at a safe altitude with steep turns, stalls, slow(ish) flight and high speed flight to get a feel for how the airplane handles. Chandelles, aileron rolls, barrel rolls, loops may come next at varying speeds. Then you chip away at the altitude you're performing them once you've mastered the basics. You don't start off in a new jet you just took delivery of and fly even impromptu airshows safely.
You especially don't do these things in a new to you airplane you don't have any history with. I can handle an engine canning at a worst-case time when I'm at 12,000' with time to recover from whatever lousy situation I find myself in or get out of the airplane. That opportunity doesn't present itself when stuff goes wrong and you don't even know how the airplane might react when you're in a reduced/no thrust situation pointing at the sky at under 100 knots.
This guy did it wrong and he died. I'd encourage pilots to learn from it because this stuff can kill you and not to think for a moment it won't if you let it.
