Parachutes, skydivers and falling safely, sentence 12
When a lift starts going down, you fall a little with it and press less on the floor, and your loose insides give a floating feeling; going fast over a hump-backed bridge in a car gives the same feeling.
Who acts: lift, you, loose insides, going · What happens: start, go down, fall, press, give, float · To what, where: little, floating feeling, backed bridge, same feeling
