Not sure I can understand my own rationale in supporting him (heh heh), but I agree with Majid.
The http://www.theuiaa.org/act_safety.htmlseems to show the non-lockers deforming in such a manner that the pin and hook of the visibly closed gate do not engage. I also wondered about that, but haven't had the chance to do anything about fnding out more.
Edited to add:
I just looked at the video again. I paused on the two biners just after the gate opened (no actual flutter). It appears to me that the "color" in the hook does not match the back ground. Could it be that they used a filler of some sort to simulate the action of flutter by keeping the pin from fully engaging? Just a thought. It would be nice to see some commentary along with the video.
