You close your eyes and put your head up and down as the chair is gently rotated, then told to open your eyes and stand up right away. Everybody will generally stand at about a 45 deg angle and fall over. It's the sustained turn, then stopping the turn, that gets you into trouble, and you can replicate that in a chair. The swing is to desensitize to 0 G. I'm fine in planes, but more than 15 min on a park swing gets me queezy. | |
