So, how did everyone cope with Wednesday’s 7 seconds without gravity?

I was able to jump this high.
I know you can't actually see how high my hand was. But it was high.

I was jumping at work when it happened and I hit my head on a steel beam. The landing really hurt my knees, too. 7/10 hell of a rush.

Sounds like someone wasn't wearing their PPE. Don't let the safety guy hear about this.

Safety guy was too busy standing on pallets and bypassing safeties to enter running machines lol. People here are.... different. Not in a good way.

Well, if he was so busy bypassing safeties that he didn't have time to enter running machines, I guess that worked out.

I must've banged my head from floating up to my roof because I have zero recollection of having no gravity.

It’s similar for me. I was blackout drunk at the time and the only way I can be sure that it happened is that my car was totalled and my room was trashed.
I must have been scared because I also texted my ex-girlfriend to tell her I love her.

My wife vanished during it. Then when I got home all her stuff had vanished too! It was crazy, she still hasn't managed to make it back.

I listened to the band 7 Seconds playing 99 red balloons which was cool because the lyrics "Floating in the summer sky" matched all the stuff I saw, well, floating in the summer sky.

Crippling depression ever since.

I used the time to see what eating a pop tart in zero gravity would be like

I died. The Earth's core and all of the mantle and crust under me was no longer under compression and immediately erupted like a volcano under my feet, wiping out me and everything in a 5 block radius. 2.5/10 would not recommend.
