I actually saw  a wing come off a big aerobatic model at the Barton Point Spectacular a couple of years ago . The pilot had enough height to get the model into a knife edge flight ,did a circuit and landed flipping it onto it wheels at the last second . The u/c was damaged and I believe the remaining wing tip . But got it down .  Fast thumbs and brain .Don't think the film of full size similar scenario on youtube is  real . Just looks wrong

At 32 seconds the plane is flying level with only one wing and even climbing level. Then the break is far too clean. Not a bit of spar sticking out or damage to the rib. But then, that is only my opinion as an ex airframe fitter

there is another video which debunks it

Watch right to the end where the comparison stills show the differences
