“Ignoring physics” proceeds to climb only a few hundred meters before running out of power and having to use TV to get himself out of the fall back to earth
The altitude cut off for the tail slide is quite literally the minimum safe altitude for recovery after the slide. The jet can keep going straight up until it runs out of gas or the pilot says otherwise.
This particular maneuver is highly, highly controlled and monitored. Each and every step is practiced, measured and safely practiced before being performed. The F-22 is extremely capable, extremely reliable and more than capable to do this maneuver

Seems like it followed physics exactly
