I won't comment on whether he was retarded or not, but forgetting to doublecheck the machinery he was piloting is kind of.. Well, stupid, and especially for a Thunderbird of his status.
He had forgotten to consider the MSL (mean-sea-level) altitude of location at which he took off from. He needs around close to 800 meters in altitude to perform a split s such as the one he was attempting, and as far as I can see, he was only close to 500.
Nevertheless, the presence of mind to eject was mental.

Was that part of the show....

First off, this guy is/was a Thunderbird, which means he had a LOT of flight hours under his belt. Second, the F16 is completely fly-by-wire, meaning that if its electronics systems go down, it is unflyable. So I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he was a "bad pilot." Especially since he had the presence of mind to eject right before the plane slammed into the ground at well over 100mph.
