That’s because the test article had no parachutes and was not designed to be
recovered. That portion of the flight was past the designed parachute
deployment time and didn’t simulate anything meaningful.
The LAS performed as designed: it provided a survivable separation, and then a
stable attitude and velocity to allow for parachute deployment.

I can make some assumptions about what they did, like. The shape of the Orion
Capsule is correct. The Center of Gravity (CG) is correct. Given these two
assumptions, this Orion Capsule test was a complete and utter failure. Back to
the drawing board and re-design the entire Capsule, it's not Human Rated.

Yet, here is what the Orion Capsule flying through the atmosphere.

I would hardly call this "Stable" flight. Exactly how many RPM do NASA
Astronauts like to be spinning at, when they impact the water? Gees, can you
imagine what it would be like to "Work the Problem" tumbling at that rate?
The Orion Capsule is unstable.
