I’ll get downvoted to shit, and yes I’m biased, but from a physics standpoint, had he not kicked his leg he would’ve ended up horizontal, and slowing down the footage the movement isn’t fluid as you’d expect with someone who’d planned the movement. From what I see, he jumped awkwardly at an angle he wasn’t expecting, and flailed to correct himself midair.
