I think it means to "flail"
Flailing is mainly used to describe the movement of arms of legs when they are moving in quick way with little control.
So basically they are flopping their arms around

But in some examples I saw it used in a simular fashion to "flail"
In the example you gave I like to imagine it like how fire moves. its rapid random movements with a snap to them.
I hope this helps,
