The pilot is a FI/FE for ULM category, author of a couple of training manuals and safety related publication, winner of the Dutch 2009 'General Aviation Safety Award', 1200+hrs ULM.
He was flying below Ostend (EBOS) TMA starting at 1500 MSL. At the time of the mishap, he was ~5 miles out from nearest airfield (ULM-only grass strip), but no info on whether this airfield was part of the routing.
As can be seen in the video-clip, the BRS did not deploy 100% correctly as one of the chute's lines got stuck in the T-tail.
