the video is here http://youtu.be/2UQGntluDQ0
the question has been asked on the french forum to see if anyone could translate the explanations in russian from the video.

obviously a too long closing loop, leading to a partial container opening midflight.

the GoPro footage is very useful

holy fuck

There must be something more than that

Yes, thats right!

I found this translation by a guy on Facebook... hope it's useful.

"attention wingsuit pilots
premature container opening during flight

xxxxxx:
blowing the flaps and upper bridle with upper pin

causes:
- too long top loop of the container

- most of the canopy fabric was placed at the bottom part of the container

//EDIT: didn't noticed the last text screen:

"Follow manufacturer recomendations regarding the length of the loop of your container, pin should sit firmly in the loop"

Translation is absolutely correct.
One more thing.
It were first jumps with that rig. Before that the pilot was jumping with Troll and some standard container. The packing is different. At the beggining new packings were not so accurate and had bigger volume. The lenght of the loop was Ok. After few jumps and practice the packing became more slim and the loop became too loose.
Check your gear and use back sight GoPro

I hear Velcro is looking better everyday and making it's Revival for WS flight .
.

Fuck that would be great!

Velcro baby! So simple a caveman could do it=)
