This is the Reno air races, that means multiple aircraft taking off at the same time
The victim here is one of the competitors, who signaled for them to stop because his engine was having problems. That’s what he was waving and opening his canopy for.
The organizers didn’t stop the start of the race, so the other competitors started taking off. The plane that hit him is a tail dragger. That means the front of the airplane is angled up, and he can’t see ahead of him. Normally, this means he has to zig zag when taxiing to see ahead of him, but he isn’t gonna do that on take off.
