A case for not riding the bolt

[GUTS]

The thread I saw this video on was about the importance of eye protection and the guys were also debating the cause for this Garand explosion. When I watch the young lady shooting I see about six or so normal rounds and then a round that didn't chamber, followed by the young lady pulling back the op rod handle, which does extract the live round, and then she rides the bolt forward to load another. This is what I think caused the major malfunction(if you rule out some type of ammo problem).
