Probably a stupid question, but how much of this kinda flying could a 727 take before it imposes excessive structural loads on the aircraft? Worst nightmare for me: wings getting pulled off!

In this manuever, because it's "zero G", does the descent rate impose no loads on the wings? How about during the pull-up?
