Description: Sharp turn

Additional comments: The sharpness of this turn is likely related to the snake's location in the trajectory. Turns as sharp as this have not been observed once the snake is in a 'full glide'. It's not known if the tail flip seen during the turn is relavent to the turn's effectiveness.
