I had a fellow QM waiting in the lower bridge to go up to the bridge proper
(lower bridge being the upper terminus of the access hatch trunk, and the
bridge a few steps up).  You're about 25 feet above the center of rotation
there, and rather than puke on the OOD's feet he turned his head.  Right
down the hatch, 18 feet to the grate at the foot of the ladder in the
Control Room.  Kersplash!
