I saw that was coming.  It's awesome to see!  IIRC, they only needed like 52MPH to make the loop.

According to these guys high G's and structural integrity of the frame...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

In an interview afterward, Tanner mentioned the high G's.  He was talking about grunting all the way around trying to keep from blacking out.  I think he said it was close to 7 G's.  That just sounds ridiculous at only 52 MPH.
