Le poids du corps est également réparti sur les deux skis qui sont maintenus parallèles. Durant la portion aérienne, les bras de chaque côté du corps assurent l'équilibre et les jambes sont repliées sous le corps pour offrir le moins de résistance au vent; par une extension-flexion, elles amortissent ensuite la réception. 1, record 1, French, - saut%20de%20terrain

Les sauts de terrain ne sont pas recommandés dans les centres de ski, sécurité oblige. Dans les épreuves de descente et de slalom géant, les skieurs exécutent des sauts de terrain, parfois malgré eux, les portions aériennes étant franchies à des vitesses moindres que lorsque les skis sont en contact avec la neige. 1, record 1, French, - saut%20de%20terrain
