Factors contributing to the accident probably included a departure from the pilot's recent aerobatic display ventures, the absence of a pre-planned programme of aerobatic manoeuvres, and misjudgement of loss of height and/or a mistaken impression regarding the aircraft height above ground prior to manoeuvre commencement.
