Default Looping a 2-33

While they were awaiting modification to the main spars for cracks, we
did 3-g loops (plus all the other aerobatics) in the T-33a. After the
mods, it was back to 7.33 g. The only difference being the entry
airspeed and altitude gained/lost. But we were much younger then and
totally immortal...

every 2-33 manual i have seen says mild aerobatcs to 80 mph can be done (1-5 in link below). To loop a 2-33 is not dangerous.

You sir are dangerously uninformed about aerobatics in Schweitzer gliders

Service Bulletin 'SA-003 Aerobatics in Schweizer Sailplane 25 Mar 1987'

supersedes the POH. Aerobatics are not approved.
