I’ve always kept them flat, though I have heard the twist suggestion before. I find that if they are twisted, they become more of a tripping hazard, or, as you say, they can roll under your feet. I understand the primary roll of the jacklines is to keep you with the boat, but my primary preference is to keep on the deck and avoid injuries.
