But he wasn't diving directly--his forward momentum was stopped, he whirled and flung himself at Palmer's legs. That's what you're seeing in those photos, the post-roll "flop".
There was no "whirl". He did not put a spin move on the offensive lineman. Go here:

Click on Steelers-Bengals Video Highlights in the "Game Coverage" section.

You clearly see that Kimo was not "whirling". You can also CLEARLY see that the offensive lineman firmly planted his left hand on Kimo's backside, turned and shoved him in the direction of Palmer.
