A few thoughts on foot launching

Like your mother said, stand up straight. Open up your chest and throw back your shoulders. This will provide you with the proper platform for the apex of your control frame. If you do this, your glider will have a much better base upon which to rest. You won't have to hold up the glider with your hands, but (in no wind) it will rest securely on your shoulders.

I've arranged with Steve Wendt to come back to his Blue Sky hang gliding school to re-teach my muscles and body a lesson in how to foot launch (and land) a hang glider. I'll be there May 23rd through the 30th (just before the East Coast Championships). Come and join me and we can take lessons together.
