  During early pandemic, I watched/rewatched a whole bunch of mid-80s to late-90s action flicks (action’s heyday?) and remember Drive not just as great fun but one of a whole slew that had that same… exercise machine?

  The one with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. I think Universal Soldier, Fortress and a bunch more had it too. I should have turned it into a drinking game, as it seemed to be crammed into every 90s sci-fi flick.

  Here’s my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean.

  Does anyone know what it’s called?

    What it’s called, no, but NASA and Air Force use them for training. It’s like a giant gyroscope, simulates an accident, like a plane or helicopter falling out of the sky, and you have to try to complete a task while spinning.
