A manoeuvre equivalent to the hook turn is often done by cyclists to avoid entering the fast lane to turn; this may be required in some places.

 Info: (lispref) Hooks
Hooks ===== A "hook" is a variable where you can store a function or functions to be called on a particular occasion by an existing program.
The hook functions may be any of the valid kinds of functions that `funcall' accepts (What Is a Function).
Any hook that is abnormal is abnormal because a normal hook won't do the job; either the functions are called with arguments, or their values are meaningful.

 Dropzone.com Skydive Forums: Community: The Bonfire: I can't hook turn
IMO, the biggest problem with the 'No Hook Turns' policy is, that while it'll stop the guy with 1000's of jumps from pounding in on his Extreme-VX 69 (primarily because he'll go find another dropzone), a lot of the people who actually get hurt doing hook turns are low timers who just made a mistake.
Most of these people don't even realize they're doing a low hook turn until the people are standing over them asking if they're ok. What is needed is not more policies on what you're not allowed to do, but better educated jumpers.

Hook Turn Physics by Bryan Burke Beginning with the first jump course, every skydiver is drilled on the concept that a turn close to the ground is one of the leading causes of injury in our sport.
In summary, while both front riser turns and toggle turns create an increased descent rate and corresponding increase in speed, for intentional maneuvers a front riser turn is usually more desirable in that it offers more escapes in the event of a lapse of judgment or a sudden change in the environment.
An additional consideration is that a turn over 90 degrees does not confer significant increases in speed but greatly increases the potential for mistakes, not just on the part of the person doing the hook turn.

With rare exceptions, hooks in Emacs are empty when Emacs starts up, so the only hook functions in any given hook are the ones you explicitly put there as customization.

If the hook variable's name does not end with `-hook', that indicates it is probably an abnormal hook; you should look at its documentation to see how to use the hook properly.
If the variable's name ends in `-functions' or `-hooks', then the value is a list of functions, but it is abnormal in that either these functions are called with arguments or their values are used in some way.
