> In each sequence, people randomly (or according to an algorithm) selected a starting position (heads-up or tails-up) of the first coin flip, flipped the coin, caught it in their hand, recorded the landing position of the coin (heads-up or tails-up), and proceeded with flipping the coin starting from the same side it landed in the previous trial (we decided for this “autocorrelated” procedure as it simplified recording of the outcomes). (p.3)

Wrt to the height, that naturaly varied among people and flips and we did not measure it.
