It's the widest of the spatula types I've ever encountered. You grab the handle as close as you can to where it goes from wood (or whatever heat resistant material they use for the handle) and extend the rest of the handle back along your arm to help with stability. You get the hang of not dumping the pan over onto the floor pretty quickly. To practice, take your pizza pan or a metal pan around that size and put a few smallish rocks in it. Practice removing that with the oven turned off so you can get comfortable inserting and removing it.

Maybe with the loaf back a little in the oven that wouldn't happen and use of a pizza peal for inserting and removing the loaf would be a good idea.
