I did sky diving some years back. I did feel acceleration immediately after the jump for a second, but then afterwards it was as if I was lying on bed. So what was that feeling I experienced (it was similar to maintain giant wheel coming down)
- stetrain 3y agoGoing from standing on a surface where you are resisting the force of gravity (like standing on the ground, or in a stable aircraft) to being in free fall definitely has a sensation. It's a sensation that actually causes a decent percentage of people to feel physically ill for a period after launching to orbit on a rocket. It's like going over the top of a hill on a roller coaster where you go from being pulled down into your seat to floating up against the restraints. But once you're falling, or or in orbit (which is also free fall just outside an atmosphere), you don't feel the changes in velocity (acceleration) due to gravity.
