How are we able to regain balance by flailing our limbs?
In: 5
Sometimes when we are walking or standing, we might lose balance and start to fall down. When this happens, our body automatically tries to recover and get back to a stable position. One way we do this is by flailing our arms and legs.
Think of it like a tightrope walker. When a tightrope walker starts to lose their balance, they swing their arms and legs in the opposite direction to help them stay upright. Our body does the same thing, but we don’t have a tightrope. Instead, our body flails when we lose balance to try and keep us from falling.
By flailing, our body shifts its weight and moves into a more stable position. This helps us regain our balance and prevents us from falling over. It’s like a little dance our body does to stay upright.
