5. What do you do if you are alone in freefall?
6. List the 3 steps of the Circle of Awareness:
7. What would cause a person to backslide?
How can it be corrected?8. How do you increase your fallrate/downward speed in freefall?
9. What would cause a person to 'flat spin'? How can this be corrected?
10. If you are on your back while in freefall, how can you get back into a stable position?
11. If you are unstable, disoriented, or confused in freefall, what do you do? (What is the 5 second rule?)
