How it actually works is that these snakes are acting like parachuters.
These snakes prepare themselves for the free fall, by slithering to the end of a branch and will move into a hanging J-shape, then using the speed of the free fall it will then throw itself off the branch.
It then flattens itself into a flat C-shape, moving its body from one side to the other which propels it further and further through the air.
