Cheesy bbc article has an 'enlarge image' option, which I don't really recommend.

How the hell do they land?

Another dumb ass question is when they tuck and spin during flight why don't they suddenly drop fast as thier wings arn't holding them up them?.

They kill their velocity and descent by pitching upwards, then they deploy the parachute you can (just) see on their backs.

Conservation of momentum. The trajectory they were on more or less continues without the lift provided by the wings, gravity only overcoming it gradually when the lift factor is removed.
