When he pitched his pilot chute the bridle (what connects it to the main canopy) probably got wrapped around his arm. That’s why his body got so crazy sideways at the end. One of the dangers of doing aerials. Also, the wind was blowing from L to R so since he was a lefty his PC blew back at him. This guy was less lucky.
