Summary:

As you fall, passengers experience an opposition in force that’s pulling away from them, and Major Luke O’Sullivan, F-16 instructor, described it as a pull away “from your brain and your eyeballs and pulls it away from where it needs to be." Thanks to the special program, the jet was able to be pulled up and avoid crashing into the ground.
