You just waited in line for two hours to ride The Vortex. Before you throw your hands up in the air like you just don't care — you wonder why your stomach does its own acrobatics performance while you're on a wild ride.
Turns out, "air time" really screws with your body. Your body is full of loosely connected parts — comforting, huh? Gravity makes all those floating parts push down on each other. While you're going all Tom Petty and free falling, those parts aren't getting their daily dose of gravity. So, the parts begin to float inside your body.
Those floating parts, not tied down by gravity are to blame for that turning feeling in your stomach — when you're on a rollercoaster or cruising on a backroad hill.
