This is a common belief, but it's not correct. You have to both grip and pull upwards, otherwise the net lift is zero and you will die.

It gets even more complicated. If the plane suffers and inversion, as during barrel rolls and loops, you have to coordinate pushes and pulls with the orientation of the plane. Otherwise, the maneuver may suffer a distortion and fail to recove properly!

I hear it works better if you soil yourself. It helps smooth out the boundary layer.
