Naive question, why wouldn't test-anythings be conducted much higher up to account for such erroneous potential?
Generally they end up flying low during the air show so they can be seen more easily. They would practice high yo start with and then bring the stunt lower and lower to get a better feel for how it would work lower to the ground consistent with what they will be doing at the airshow.
It is likely this was one of the ones that was the same or close to the altitude they would be doing the stunt at during the airshow.
Ahh, this explains everything. Merci snooggums!
