In the video I recall, the astronaut gave himself a little push with his hand and then straightened out his legs and quickly popped up to his feet. He could have been using the pressure inside the suit to give himself a little boost (like a coiled spring).

Does everyone agree that this is the one we are sticking with,or does anyone whant to ad something 8-[ |
I already said that at the end of the footage, I see that the astronauts holds his left hand on the other astronaut's shoulder. And that during the first part of the footage, people think they see his left arm, but it's the cam. I think the left arm already is on the shoulder the, but the footage is in too low quality to see. to do the first part of the move, he appears to use is pressure suit indeed. I think the total covers it. Maybe some more research into the usage of the suit as an "air spring"?
