01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—reverse triangle can create unusual neck angles

02

Release immediately; the angle creates different pressure vectors than standard triangle

03

Ensure partner's neck maintains neutral alignment during entry and finish

04

Apply pressure gradually to allow partner to adjust body position

05

Communication is important due to unusual positioning and pressure angles
