There are two references at this site that are both informative and
entertaining. They are:

Frolich, C. (1979) "Do springboard divers violate angular momentum
conservation?" American Journal of Physics. 47(7)"583-592.

Frohlich, C. (1980) "The physics of somersaulting and twisting." Scientific
American, March 1980.
