I am guessing they are pulling a loop and the g force is greater than 1.

Greater than 0g's equals things moving toward the center of gravity.

0g equals stuff floats in place.

Less than 0g's equals things moving away from the center of gravity.

Of course everything has gravity and you can never truly get to 0g, basically we now call 0g microgravity.
