Does airtime feel similar to 0G/microgravity that astronauts feel?

503 viewsOtherPhysics

When you go over a harsh speed bump or go downwards on a roller coaster, you experience this brief feeling of your internals going up as your body comes down. Do astronauts feel a similar sensation in 0G/micro-gravity environments because your internals are suspended relative to the rest of your body? Would I experience 0G (breifly) if I were to be stuck in an elevator if the cable snapped?

If the cable snapped in an elevator you would feel slightly *more* than 1G, as the brakes would stop the elevator from moving completely.
