His ankles twist, knee pivoting slightly, whole back and shoulders twisting almost like he's doing the hammer throw, hands grasping the pummel. The flogger picks up slow speed on the first loop, then raises over his head, flying in a wide circle above his head. His entire body twists with it, it slams into the beam of the suspension frame, and the entire wooden structure hops about an inch to the left from the sheer concussive force.
The tails bend. Keep going. He flies it in another circle and brings it downwards, going up into the air on one leg and slamming it forwards, up over his shoulder so it snaps against the wood, like it's hitting someone in the shoulders and dragging down their whole back, vertically, before hitting the ground.
Gerard ends up on one knee, thus the protective gear.
