He's not moving, he must be standing upright to the local acceleration--and he's standing straight up. The acceleration is down through the floor, not tilted. (Everyone else is either down or moving around, you can't judge their vertical.) | |

I can see them hopping along and it's not horribly off-perpendicular, but it's hard to tell how close. I would guess then that the companies that offer this service (there must be more than one now) might even offer this as a product now, perhaps even with a perpendicularity spec. youtube.com/watch?v=OM5-BhMNXOI | |
