Does Skydiving Feel like a Roller Coaster?

This is another one of those questions I have been asked a hundred times. The very simple answer is NO! You do not get that roller coaster effect when skydiving. Only a Zero G Dives can cause that feeling in your stomach. Zero G is that slight pause where you go from climbing up to all of a sudden accelerating downward.
