If I’m being honest it’s hard to describe the sensations because it was complicated to really understand what was happening to my body. Basically, in scientifics terms, what happened is that the plane simulated a weightlessness environment. To do so, we did parabolas in which there are 22 seconds of 1.8g (when we feel the double of our weight), 20 seconds of weightlessness in 0g (our bodie is freefalling like the plane) and then 1.8g again. When we’re in 1.8g my whole body was very tense and I couldn’t raise my head because it was too heavy. On the other hand, when there was no longer weightless I just flew. I was expecting not to feel my body anymore but it was better than that. I could feel them but not in the same way as on Earth. They weren’t bothering me at all. It felt like I couldn’t perceive pain anymore. It was truly amazing!
