How to understand this sentence?

I'm a fifty-three-year-old grandma crouched in an awkward position reminiscent of giving birth, perched before an open gate on a zip line platform high up in the hills above Maui's northwest coast, seemingly to plunge to my death.

Who can help me to understand the meaning of the sentence? Especially "crouched in an awkward position reminiscent of giving birth".

What does flying fox mean?

"crouched in an awkward position reminiscent of giving birth". means that this woman is crouched down: bent down, with knees bend, legs open. This reminded her of the same body position she was in when she gave birth to her baby.

@PUNKEY,

What is this for, this position? Prior to starting a ski jump?
