I think,but dont take my word for it, that the spear is charging and sort of diving headlong at someone with your body in a sort of horizontal flight, with the ultimate goal of knocking the other person to the ground. From this position you can then proceed to pin them, adminster mouth to mouth or indulge in bizarre fetishes.
