This one would be a much better example:

The limit protection would largely prevent this. Also, you can only force the plane into a 15° dive, so even if you push it fully forward, the effect would be largely disappointing in the end.
So, first of all, you have to get into direct law and disable the autopilot - that removes a lot of the surprise.
Also: The flight path as observed does not show such maneuvers.

What if he waited for another pilot to get out of the seat, then pushed the stick hard?
The sudden negative Gs would slam everyone standing head-first into the ceiling, breaking their necks (or at least knocking them out).
Is that a plausible scenario?
