I'd have to say he's got a major undercarriage problem there. It's obviously loaded beyond the manufacturers specifications. ?

Way back, a couple of guys turned up at home here wanting to use my strip to test fly this "thing" they`d made up! after they explained the concept, I thought it wasn`t a bad idea! anyway! they assembled "this thing", one of the guys strapped it to his back, fired it up, the Parachute inflated, he gave the engine full throttle, took a few steps forward then the "Big Bang" happened!!! They`d made a shroud around the prop out of industrial plastic mesh and it got sucked into the prop! 

 

These two guys were brave enough to try something different, fortunately, in this case, no one was injured and lessons were learned!
