It takes just a 1.4Gs pull during 1.9 seconds to bring something from a descent of 8 m/2 to 0 m/s in 7.6m. It takes just 1.2 Vs to produce enough lift (at stall AoA) for 1.4Gs, Vref is 1.3 Vs (enough for a 1.7Gs pull) and the plane was flying faster than Vref. So that's pretty attainable, especially when the pilot made such a big pull for the investigators to say that the plane would have stalled if it hadn't crashed first.
Also, loosing 30m (50m) would be nearly a full 4 (5) seconds descent at a constant rate of 8m/s. Unthinkable.
