What do we believe happened?

Jesus had a normal handheld exit. He took maybe a 1 second delay, long enough that he fell away from view before pitching. We heard him throw his PC and then no deployment. He impacted with nothing out.
At this point the cause is only speculation. Pin lock, bridle wrap, gear failure? It's worth noting his previous jump was his first wingsuit Base jump. Maybe he still had his pin tensioned for terminal.
