Corking - Skydiving (gambling)


A term used to describe the act of suddenly slowing down by presenting a large horizontal surface area to the relative wind. From the perspective of others who are still in the vertical (fast) posture, the "corker" appears to pop up, much like a cork held under water, then released.
