A death spiral is a figure skating move typically performed in pairs, where one skater, usually the man, holds their partner, typically the woman, by the hand or arm while she spirals around him in a low, extended position. The woman skates on one foot with her other leg extended behind her, close to the ice, while rotating in a circular motion. The man maintains a strong grip and uses his strength to control her movement, keeping her low to the ground. This move requires balance, strength, and precision, as both skaters must maintain speed and control throughout the spin. The death spiral is a dramatic and visually impressive element of a pair skating routine.
