This might be the gretaest long jump video we've ever seen.
How in the world did he end up on his back? Has anyone seen that before?

The physics of long jumping means that you naturally rotate forward, and long jump technique (should!) act to counterbalance that. I guess his technique failed here.
You can read about the physics here:
There's an alternative method for long jumping in which the jumper goes into forward somersault. It's claimed that this can actually result in longer jumps, but it was ruled too dangerous, and banned:

I officiate a LOT of horizontal jumps at all levels. I can't say that I've ever seen someone jumping head first, and flying sideways.

Yeah, no way this results and longer jumps. The rotational velocity would take away from the linear velocity. I don’t have the time to look up the physics equation for this, but it is definitely provable

Here’s a link to a wired article. I guess I may be wrong on this.
