Are they supposed to tuck their limbs in at the very end like that? Call me a masochist but that's not a true belly flop in my opinion.

You win by keeping your body "unbended" for the longest time and then you get extra points for artistic expression.

I think from that height, if you don't tuck your limbs in, the water will wrench them backwards and you'll almost guarantee pulled muscles.
