Consideration of the ability of both animals and humans to perform well-controlled self-rotation maneuvers while falling freely for short periods of time in the neighborhood of the earth's surface. Specifically, an analytical theory dealing with the righting movements of falling cats is constructed, and the validity of this theory is tested by reference to photographs. Pitch, yaw, and roll motions generated by arm and leg motions of humans are studied analytically and, in the case of yaw motions, experimentally.
