What do we believe happened?

Rodolphe pulled between 6 or 7 seconds from la mouse, high pull. and then, nothing... He waits 1 second, then looks back, notices bridle knot and flips to his back and impacts the talus.
When his friends inspect the rig, there is a knot with bridle on the pilot chute.

He was an experienced base jumper, with 400 jumps this was a tracking suit jump.
