Sometimes when I'm about to sneeze I suddenly feel nauseous, it's very strong as if I'm just about to throw up. It builds quickly as the feeling of the sneeze gathers and then disappears immediately after.
Sometimes it's so strong I actually think I'm going to puke as I sneeze, haven't so far though.
Anybody else get that?

I don't get it myself, but I do sympathise.Sometimes it's so strong I actually think I'm going to puke as I sneeze, haven't so far though.

But more importantly, a new word would need to be invented to describe that occurrence should it arise.
Like 'sharted'.

German might be a possibility Ebrechen-niesen has a nice ring to it.

I am not sure if this has been asked before or its just my weird mind,
Say you're flying and the plane breaks apart mid flight. You are now hurtling towards the ground still strapped to your seat with the odd serving trolley passing you now and again.
Would it be possible that before you hit the ground, you can jump off your seat as though you have say, jumped off a few stairs and therefore change the speed at which you hit the ground? If that makes sense.. so basically if you're falling 120 mph whilst on a seat can you crouch on said seat and jump off it (a few feet off ground) before it hits so your actual falling rate becomes zero before you begin to fall again albeit closer to the ground.
Does the mass of the falling object you are attached to matter? Would, in theory, this work better if you were jumping off a car rather than a plane seat?

Being by the coast helps.

Wouldnt work. In free fall you do not retain mass of the earth to steady you only the mass of the seat you are sat in during the free fall. You may be just about able to push the seat away from you but your velocity towards the ground will be little changed and certainly not enough to save you. The quicker you get out of the seat the easier it will be to climb out because as soon as velocity builds at approx 10m/s every second your pretty much stuck in the seat unless you have to power to over come physics.

It would be better if you pushed off a car rather than the comparatively light plane seat (owing to conservation of momentum: m x v).Say you're flying and the plane breaks apart mid flight.

But either way you're still hitting the ground VERY close to terminal velocity.

Not to mention that most people aren't able to jump upwards at over 100 mph.
Yep, you'd need to jump up at 120mph to effectively stop yourself.Because you've only got the seat to push against, you need to push the seat away to do it.
A quick check says an economy class seat weights about 35kgs, so a 70kg person would need to be able to kick an aircraft seat to 240mph to get the equal and opposite reactions.
