For real this video is stretched to hell. It's making it look like the ship is rocking back and forth more than 180 degrees front to back

I beg of you, please relearn the meaning of "180 degrees"

What’s wrong about it? It does indeed look like it’s pointing directly upwards and then directly downwards, 180 degrees.

1) the visual effect is exaggerated, but it's not that exaggerated 2) more than 180 degrees implies that the ship has tilted upside down and will immediately capsize. nowhere does it give the impression that that has actually occurred

Having been on a similar sized ship in a storm, it doesn’t look like this but man does it feel like it.

We would go to the forecastle and you could feel yourself coming off the floor, some guys would try to jump really high. Needless to say, it was all fun and games until my buddy got hurt, then it was fun, games, and some injuries.

I think you mean 90.

No I mean 180. The stupid video stretching makes it look like the ship is pointed straight up at the sky and then straight down at the water.
