They don't have to, the boards are firmly strapped to their feet.

But grasping the board is a trick in itself and can be used to pull the board at an angle to the body, adding a layer of difficulty to the jump.

How does compression and tension act together by describing when a diver jumps up and down on a diving board?

These alternating tension and compression forces act together to provide the necessary rebound for the diver to propel themselves into the air.
