You know that sensation of falling while you’re falling asleep? Have they ever tried dropping comatose or brain dead people to see if it wakes them up? In a safe way, like raised 1 foot off a bed in a hoist and fall softly onto a cushion.

Could you imagine being “locked in” with locked in syndrome and people around you decide to make you “fall”?

Yeah, you’re right. Roller coasters might be better.
