Interesting.

Here was I thinking that the pilots are prescient and with some very sophisticated equipment know how bad it is going to be and on the basis of that switch on the seat belt sign.

I wonder how bad it would have been at the back if we felt it that much up front.

Does it feel worse, if one is on a flat bed?
