I'd guess so too.  I watched the video a few hours ago. Pretty amazing.  Although I wonder how the crew/passengers would hold up while the capsule was doing that looping a few seconds into the escape firing.  I imagine the G-forces were pretty high for a few seconds.  But I'm no rocket scientist so I could be wrong.  Overall a pretty specatcular thing.
