What do we believe happened?

It was his second jump with this suit ever, second from the Brento too. 2-way with a friend. Everything is good, they have Sena Talking device, the first guy say to (Jumper) he will separate to pitch at something. He turns and looked at (Jumper), they are 400m from the ground and he saw him trying to pull and getting unstable, saying "shit,shit,..." until he impacted the ground. Dead on impact.
More information from jumper on the 2 way..
He did the correct manouver to pull but he had some problem and instead of returning to flight and retry the procedure he continued to search for the PC, loosing speed, altitude and stability and was starting to roll etc...If he had of returned to flying position and retry instead of continue searching to pull maybe he could be still here.. We were really high when we chose to break off and start our deployment sequence.
