There may be a way out. There are some good anti-nausea drugs, some of 'em developed for cancer chemotherapy patients.
When I was learning to fly a small airplane, I, as well as everyone else who learns, was subjected to "unusual attitudes" and recoveries.
Now this was in the day of $7 an hour airplanes. Wet, meaning including fuel. If 10 hours were purchased in advance. It was $11 with instructor. Not much of an airplane, Aeronca 7AC (fabric covered, tandem, no electrical system) or Cessna 120 (metal, electrical system, tail-dragger).
The instructor would put one "under the hood", blinders which prevented one from looking out, have me shut my eyes. He'd fly the airplane around, generally get it into some attitude where it was going to stall, and then have me look at the instrument panel, figure out what was going on, and get the plane under some sort of control. They do that with everyone, it wasn't just me. (I learned rapidly if you do nothing the plane will fly itself better than I could. However, I did have to go through the numbers to see what was indeed going on. And, sometimes the bastard would lean on a control so that I DID have to take an action to get it level and straight, and thence onto a specific course.)
After the first one, and we'd do this to a limit, I'd get nauseated. And it was absolutely no fun. At all. He would do this with me right up to the point I was going to foul his plane, and then we'd call it a day.
I have to say that I might, with newer anti-nausea drugs, try 0.0G once, but if I got nauseated, I would not enjoy it and wouldn't do it again.
What the heck. You may as well try it once.

Unusual attitudes.
