It looks like an ambush. The Russians must have not spotted the Bradley and thought the infantry now has a path to the dismount point.

Bradley them hit a mine a was them hit by artillery
Not too long ago, an Epicenter supermarket warehouse in Kharkhiv was hit, which was subsequently followed by secondary explosions that point to it's use as an ammunition and weapons depot by the AFU. Recently another Epicenter warehouse was hit, this time in Kherson. With firefighters wearing armored vests as protection from exploding ordnance, this is yet another converted ammo depot.
D-20 howitzer lands a 152mm shell on a Ukrainian 120mm mortar nest. At least five Ukrainian soldiers were reportedly crewing the mortar.
Ukrainian warehouse and deployment center hit by artillery in the Kharkhiv region.
Soldiers of the Somalia Battalion standing next to a destroyed Maxxpro.
62 power units, thermal and hydroelectric, are not working in Ukraine. 42 are destroyed, 20 are badly damaged.
Ukrainian Magura sea drone destroyed from a Ka-27PS helicopter, happened over the Black Sea.
Moving Bradley taken out at Sokol in the Avdeyevka sector.
Another Bradley taken out in Sokol, this by the Black Hussars SPN.
BTR-82A firing headon with a Bradley in the same area, managed to disembark troops at designated spot. The Bradley was later knocked out, which could be one of these posted videos.
Bradleys destroyed in the area previously.
Basically you can get a picture of what's happening is that the Russians are assaulting the village of Sokol and the 47th Brigade of the AFU, which is equipped with Abrams and Bradleys are desperately trying to defend it. In the area are also a number of Russian special forces including the Black Hussars and the Siberian Association.
Five Shaheds broke through, sends an oil depot in Kiev burning.
TOS hit Ukrainian positions north of Rabotino.
Ukrainian pickup spotted with a NARS being used as an MLRS. NARS is those rocket thingies fired by helicopters and tactical aircraft just to be clear. Good job in improvisation.
Russian SPGs Gvozdika aka Carnations, fire and land 122mm shells against a Ukrainian deployment point.
Latest front ORBAT according to Jason Jiang from Bilibili.

Big fire in Kharkhiv, hit against military storage facility.
Russians advance in the eastern edge of the Kanal micro district of Chasiv Yar.
This is the correct sequence of videos between the BTR-82A and the Bradley. Both came in the same road, surprised each other, then shooting. Damaged BTR managed to disembark it's troops, and the Bradley got hit, possibly by FPV drone, it's crew ran off, then got finished off by artillery. This took place in Sokil. Soon after, a Leopard was hit in the vicinity.
A Ukrainian D-20 was about to be towed by it's crew when a Lancet came out of nowhere and struck. Due to human casualty, I will link only a still shot.
More FAB bombing on Ukrainian force assembly areas.
Krasnopols are no longer limited to high value targets. They are used against anywhere with no restriction. A Ukrainian machine gun nest saw the receiving end of one.
A Krasnopol lands on a Ukrainian dugout.
Small counterbattery radar used by Ukrainians hit by drone across the right side of Dniepr.
Ukrainian commando boat got intercepted by drone despite heavy EW interference.
Ukrainians using a Yak-52 in Luftwaffe colors to shoot down Orlans and Zalas doing recon over Odessa. I suppose the observer uses a machine gun to shoot at drones WW1 style.
Tornado in Kviv region. Seriously it's a real tornado.
Russian artillery working on Ukrainian positions in Ugledar.
T-90M survives a burning hit and goes Ghost Rider back to its depot.
Three Ukrainian drones tried to attack an airfield in North Ossetia but failed.
TOS launches and arrivals further west of Ocheretino.
Ukrainian IFV taken out by direct hit from a MSTA-B of the 200th Artillery Brigade.
An Abrams tank got Krasnopoled in the Ocheretino direction. YT footage. Plus Bradleys getting droned.
Ukrainian Magura sea drone being destroyed by machine gun fire from a helicopter. YT footage.

The linked video doesn't support what you were saying. Disembark is a strong word for troops who have just been raked by 25mm HE autocannon fire. One of the infantry literally rolled off the vehicle while it was disengaging, most likely heavily wounded/dead.
Due to the cut it is not obvious that it was the same Bradley.
You would roll off if you are under fire.
If the soldier is dead he would have rolled off long before, since you need to be alive to hold on to the rails on the BTR.
The territory was confirmed taken by mappers, Suriyak, Deep State, etc,.
The second video with the Bradley destroyed is geolocated being of the same road.
Other observers, like Dima of Military Summary, and Wyatt of DPA, confirm this story.
Leopard destroyed in the same area by drone strikes.
Some additions.
Trawl carrying Ukrainian SPG to reinforce the Kharkhiv front. However Lancet takes out the SPG, and another Lancet takes out the trailer.
Ukrainian field ammo depot with artillery ammunition gets hit. Kharkhiv front.
Burning oil facility that was hit in Kiev, possibly by Gerans.
Flag of the 98th VDV hoisted on high rise in the eastern canal microdistrict of Chasiv Yar.

The guy throwing himself out and rolling is clearly a clever move if your transport is getting mauled with 25mm...
We see a squad of Russian soldiers disembarking normally and following when the BTR goes slowly between building. It doesn't take out the possibility that some of them got wounded...
The video show the risks of having a lack of situation awareness in battle, even with UAV loitering above.

I spotted 3/4 Russian infantry leaving in the smoke trail, I do not believe they were the ones on top of the btr though. The one who rolled off basically smacked his head on the dirt road at 40km/h+, if he wasn't wounded before he would be now.
Seems a bit brazen to run a btr alone which is essentially a battle bus into a area still actively defended by armoured vehicles. Even if they achieved their objective in the end. Even the zoomed out picture doesn't show any other armoured support/additional troop carriers nearby.
Same goes with the Bradley, since it went straight right into the conflict zone alone that it got smacked by a drone and finished off by artillery, with it's crew departing into Russian territory, which at this point would end up getting captured. One might say, both vehicles are in the wrong. On top of that, there was another Leopard trying to do it alone also, and getting hit by FPV drones.
If the guy was previously wounded or dead, he wouldn't have the strength to hang on to the rails of a vehicle traveling at that speed and over unpaved road while carrying gear on his back. He might have landed hard, but the BTR did brake or was already slowing down from the damage taken from the Bradley.
Additionals.
Hanger containing Ukrainian military equipment and vehicles destroyed at Krasnoarmensky, one of the logistics hubs of the AFU.
Damaged bridge in Velikaya Novoselka. Another artery of AFU logistics in the Vremevsky region. Bridge busting plenty as of late.
