Possibly knocked unconscious from a weak exit or was a towed jumper. The event of a main canopy malfunction and a reserve malfunction is extremely rare.

Not really in that situation. The brain "shuts off" before impact. Even if that didn't happen, all of the damage happens so fast that there is no possibility of a pain reaction in the nervous system.

One pretty clear reason NOT to do that shit.

This looks like a military jump, that would be between 500 to maybe 1500 feet (not like skydiving or a H.A.L.O/H.A.H.O jump.)
I'd say dude jumped from about 1000ft, something happened to him and he was unable to deploy his reserve (on his chest) and bounced.
His main(chute) was prob. not fully deployed (tangled maybe?) but still slowed him down enough that he diden't hit at terminal velocity, thus no big "kersplat."

Speaking as a parachute rigger, id say your right. Looks like he got whats called a streamer. Its when your chute's canopy didoes open. He probably fought with it for awhile hoping it would correct itself before he hit the ground. A streamer will slow you down but not enough to save you from hitting the ground hard.

It kinda looks like he tried to deploy the reserve chute
