“Zero gravity” is really just free fall. Everything in orbit is falling, it is just moving so fast sideways it never hits the ground it just falls in a circle.

If you fly a plane up and then let it dive down everyone inside is in free fall and will experience zero g, until the plane pulls up and slams them all into the floor.
