Remember the first time you did the overhead crack ever and you were trying to make it all horizontal like Robby said, but something flubbed and the thong hit the back of your head, wrapped around your forehead and the cracker ended up smacking you in the ear at sonic speeds leaving a big welt across your ear and much of your forehead? We named it The Bloody Turban a year or so ago. The one crack I don't practice, yet the 3 times I ever managed to do it ever, I did it PERFECTLY.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Ha! The irony of achieving perfection without trying! I like your outlook on that But not laughing at the thought of you sustaining multiple 'Bloody Turbans'
Personally I'm happy to say I have no recollection of that memory Jessie, but still early days for me. However a video clip of me unintentionally performing one in the future might be a good laugh But I think i'll do my best to keep the Bloody Turban out of my repertoire!
I do remember apart from the WB instructional DVD's, I researched Robby's videos on YouTube and found one where he expressed how to keep it horizontal by sweeping the whip across to about shoulder height then when you switch across the opposite way to elevate your arm gradually as you move across and that seemed to work.
Luckily so far I have managed to only clip my hand with the extending loop by keeping the plane too tight and pulling it across too fast at times.
How goes your practice? I have done quite a bit today. Maybe overdone it. I've managed to get a tighter plane at times but maintaining momentum seems to be the hardest thing for me after some multiple switches.

Hey people It's been 8 days and I thought that I would give this a go with the coral snake whip. The longer handle made performing this technique feel a bit easier.
