In the dark, in a storm, you have no reference points. In a moving plane, your reference frame is further confusing. There are stories of pilots making a nice, 1-g bank turning the craft upside down and not noticing until it was too late due to white-out conditions. Gravity is only one of the forces acting on the pilots' bodies.
