It looks like the left hand was sitting almost directly under where the rifle failed at the breech/bolt whereas you can see that the grip seems relatively fine in the slowmo.
Nah, that's just a single shot .50BMG. They're much more economical to get into then any type of magazine fed. It looks like a Serbu, so it was around $1k as opposed to $2.5-3k starting for magazine fed.

Nah, incendiary burns. He was either handloading and put too high of a powder charge, possibly used the wrong type of powder accidentally, or there was a deficiency in manufacturing. Serbu better pucker up if that's the case. It's a screw breech gun which is a bit unusual, but I'm sure that's to keep cost down. The threads are beefy and it's going to be similar to a breech lock gun as far as distributing chamber pressure. It looks like a breech cap failure based on how it blows apart.
he said in the video it was slap rounds he had purchased from someone and that they weren't in production anymore. he makes it sound like the rounds were passed around often. he was also under the impression it was a military surplus round.

Yeah SLAPs were a sabot round. .30 cal sabot, tungsten I think, in a plastic sabot. There was also a .30 cal version, but it was not as common or at least I never saw it for sale as much. Turns out they were cancelled early in testing after sabot failure caused a catastrophic failure. So these were standard pressure rounds. I just looked at a powerpoint form General Dynamics and they were 51,000 cup. I'm not sure what max chamber pressure is for .50BMG, but some rounds definitely get up to 60,000.
With the info about the .30 cal failure. It's maybe conceivable that the plastic on the sabot of the .50 version has sufficiently degraded by this point to cause a problem. Plenty of .50 SLAP has been fired over the decades, but he may have gotten unlucky. The more likely scenario is manufacturer's a defect.
Dude's a badass, keeping pressure on your torn artery with a mangled thumb and making effort to keep steady breathing seconds after a gun exploded in your hand and teared your throat open takes a lot of willpower. Clear thinking on his and his pops' side saved his life.
