I’ve yet to skydive but something tells me this lad was doing it completely wrong and his instructor felt he had no choice but to punch him up in mid free fall as opposed to conversing with him (probably impossible when falling at that velocity). I’d guess you’re meant to adopt a similar position to your instructor, not curl up into a little ball and spin out of control.

Maybe some TIs out there can shed some more light?
