There may be significant horizontal velocity at time of chute deployment, in which case the plane will still be in reasonably level flight and the 'nose-down' harness configuration allows the chute to trail behind the plane while still spreading load across the harness. If the plane has minimal airspeed at time of chute deployment then that harness arrangement will cause the nose to drop initially as the chute is above the plane rather than trailing it, but peak forces are lower overall so that's nothing but a minor discomfort. My guess rather than knowledge - happy to be corrected.
The engine is in the front which makes it nose heavy, the parachute is in the back behind the centre of gravity. There us also less lift generated by the wing due to reduced speed. All this leads to. Nose down attitude.
I can't wait to test this someday on my TSI
I wonder why the nose-down attitude on the airframe when the chute is deployed?

Aaaaaaaand... the video is faked. Not saying the product isn't real, but the shots with full chute and airplane aren't.
