You are taking about a Round Up/Zero Gravity

And no you never turned yourself upside down in a zerog cage.

Yes, I've been there. You can turn around facing backwards, but you would slide down even if you could fit sideways between the bars in the cage. https://brisbaneamusementridehire.com.au/images/round-up-ride-lge.jpg

Only in UFO/graviton do people spin upside down because of the centrifugal forces and angle of the wall.

All I can say is I did this on a ride similar to this, perhaps it’s not that machine, but it looks very similar to the post you linked but it was more a solid outside rather than the individual bays in the image.

It was the centrifugal forces I believe as we would literally be stuck to the back wall but with enough strength you could flip yourself 180 and just get dizzy and a head rush.

I literally have no reason to make this up my guy.

Right, well it's a gravitron then, and it didn't go up in the air https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F2pqT-VdPl0/sddefault.jpg
