Comments by "Reecom98" (@reecom9884) on "Brit base jumper plunges to death from 29-storey tower as parachute fails during stunt in Thailand" video.
It looked like his drogue cord that was suppose pull open the parachute was behind his parachute harness in the video. The drogue cord should have been on the outside of his parachute harness and dangling free to pull open the chute.

@wokewokerman5280 He also used a tandem two drogue chute combination. Normally you would have a single drogue chute you throw out quickly to ensure the chute becomes fully open in the air to your side. With the tandem drogue chutes, the two chutes could have become entangled with each other and failed to fully open.

@ilasas In tandem jumps with a person strapped to your front at a high altitude you throw out a drogue chute to stabilize and steady your descent to keep from spinning uncontrollable because of the second person. You then pull the ripcord to open your parachute to land. When doing a base jump, you don’t have the height or need for a drogue chute to keep from spinning; you need your parachute to open instantly, hence the use of the drogue chute instead of a ripcord to open your parachute.
