Look at the Bloodrunner versus say a NAP Hellraiser , G5 Montec, Magnus Stinger, etc. On those heads, Other than the thickness of the arrow shaft itself, the only drag when going through the deer is a cutting surface of a blade.
With the bloodrunner, that red thing seems like it might cause a lot of "drag" when going through the deer. That along with the cutting diameter could possibly cause some penetration issues.

Again. i have not watched the video ( It will not display in my office). This is just my opinion based upon what the blade looks like.
One thing to add...yes it is quite thick. But when you think about it, if you don't get a complete pass through and the fletching don't pass into the cavity, the arrow is plugging the entry hole. Blood can only come out where the blades cut. The middle section of the bloodrunner head is larger than your arrow shaft, so like you see in the video, the arrow cannot plug the hole. The arrow literally flotas freely in the hole allowing blood out. Just my opinion...but you can see it in the video.
