Can you control the speed of free fall is you spread out like a squirrel?

Absolutely. The added wind resistance will slow you down.Can you control the speed of free fall is you spread out like a squirrel?
Not enough to make that big of a difference, unless you have a web of skin from your knees to your elbows like a flying squirrel does.Can you control the speed of free fall is you spread out like a squirrel?
Of course you can. You will fall much faster straight down, head first than spread out like a flying squirrel.
Yes. spreading your body out flat when falling makes a larger surface area for air to pass around making you slow down because there is more push against you.
