If you take a look at the start of the run, red flags are not there.
The red thing near the chute could be part of the pilot out of the chute pack produce by the brutal impact, but those facts still doesn't explain the lack of deployment for those parachutes.
Thanks for the info,

My understanding is that all their safety systems run on compressed air or CO2.

I can see how the explosion could have comprised that system causing a loss of pressure and rendering it inoperative.
