You don't get motion sick on a treadmill because you're not wearing a VR headset. There's no forward motion of your head captured with your eyes to mismatch what your vestibular system is feeling.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoTo add to your point, there is a somewhat unpleasant sensation once you get off the treadmill, i.e., even if you are standing in place, it feels like you are moving forward.
- aspenmayer 3y agoThis reminds me of the similar weird sensation of phantom movement after jumping on a trampoline.
- c0pium 3y agoThis is incorrect. You don’t get motion sick on a treadmill because the small accelerations and decelerations match what your eyes are seeing. There is motion.
- 93po 3y agoI agree there's motion, I'm saying there isn't a mismatch with what your eyes are seeing, which is what causes the motion sickness
- berniedurfee 3y agoI actually do get a bit of motion sickness when I get off a treadmill. It takes me a couple minutes to get my bearings after stopping.
