If the player is lying flat on his a$$, that is his/her pivot, similiar to a jump stop. Now, if he rolls left, picking up the right buttock, the left buttock becomes the pivot, he then rolls back over the way, picking up the left buttock, he just switched pivots foots. That could be one reason the Fed. says you can't roll over.
It's not written anywhere because....well.....it's completely stoopid.

Your interpreter very obviously has about the same grasp of the rules as you do.

Lah me.......

Is it? The foot is connected to the leg, the knee is connected to the leg, the buttock is connected to each leg. Can't have one without the other. Process of deduction.

If the feet are in the air but the body is on the floor, where is your point of reference?
