Non-kiters often ask "how do you guys not get tangled-up with each other? "
And that is what I wondered watching that video.

The rule is whoever enters the thermal first chooses the direction of turn, everyone joining follows. Even the birds of prey will usually join and turn in the established direction. If you're French though you just do whatever you want!
