During a check ride and approx 200' AGL, IP cut #1 engine, however due to the temp and DA the A/C would not respond and began to roll inverted. Pilot ejected on command (using the lower handle) as the A/C rolled through 90 deg. At the same time that pilot pulled his handle, IP pulled the upper handle on his seat. However the delay from the upper handle allowed the A/C to roll completely inverted at the time of IP's ejection. A/C crashed approx. 1 mile from Winder-Barrow airport runway at 1238 hours.
