Note: the announcer asked the audience not to post video of this incident right away before families could be notified, which is why I waited several days. The landing is not shown, obscured by crowds.
In this stunt, two skydivers link legs and descend at up to 90 mph, according to the show announcer. I'm not a skydiver, and the rest of this is speculation on my part:
Slow motion suggests the injured jumper may have lost hold of his left control handle (see 0:33), causing an unexpected direction of travel. At the moment of separation, the left jumper is pitching up from the dive, while the right jumper is rolled sideways, so the already late flare tends to rotate sideways, instead of leveling off..
