I'm not completely sure of the reasons for this glitch, but I believe it's connected to the way the game handles effects and ragdoll physics. When you're killed, the game seems to generate an extra physics object for the flame thrower that's just the tank. This object acts different and also saves its position after the game reloads, which gives you two or more flamer tanks. And for the number of flamers seen in the video, I'm not sure if it's simply the environment causing the game to spawn a multitude of flamers or if the screen shaking effect of getting shot actually generates additional flamers (briefly).
Either way, if you fall right, your character will respawn carrying a gigantic bundle of flamer tanks on your back, giving you a really bizarre appearance. As long as you don't reload a save or cross a loading point, they'll stay.
