An arch is what keeps skydivers stable in free fall.  By the look of the first jump student picture above obviously wasn’t paying attention in class.  If you look at his legs you can see that his knees are down, giving him a body position one would not call aerodynamic.  Most of the time the two jump masters can control the student enough so that one of them can let go with one hand and give a few helpful hand signals to improve the situation.  But some times you have all you can do to just keep the student from flipping over.   Mark, on the the bottom, and I really had our hands full on the exit and things went steadily from bad to worse.  Tomorrow I’ll show you all what happened next.
