I guess your legs are used to holding up the weight of your body under normal earth gravity - your arms generally aren't. It would make sense that people would propel themselves forward with their legs too hard when they first got into space..
Mad Cat:
Dumb mass!
C'mon. Someone hadda say it.
ecstaticjoy:
eeeeeeeeeeeeee
Redball:
Wouldn't Marigold have been more comfortable if she'd held on to something instead of floating topsy-turvy? Hanners might have told her to grab the rungs if she hadn't been distracted.
Skewbrow:
DSL has got it right, me thinks. IIRC the Skylab-astronauts practiced doing a mid-air tumble/somersault so that they would also land legs first at the other end. Controlling your rotation is also tricky, but at least you can extend your body to slow down the rotation or wrap your arms around your legs (as in a diver's tuck position) to speed up the rotation.
Poor Marten probably didn't even realize the need to brace for impact.
