One said that the two things he felt immediately after leaving the side rail were shockingly high acceleration and profound regret.

Ironically, that's zero g, exactly what is felt in earth orbit.

As to regret, I recall the ending of PAUL'S CASE by Willa Cather, "When the right moment came, he jumped. As he fell, the folly of his haste occurred to him with merciless clearness, the vastness of what he had left undone."

She was experiencing 1 g of acceleration, not zero g.
