If you feel sick when riding backwards on a bus or train – you’re in the majority – most people opt for the front facing seats. Dr. Dan Parker from the University of Washington explains when we’re facing forward – we can see what’s coming and naturally predict and prepare our bodies to react to the changes in motion. When we sit backwards – our bodies are caught off guard for turns and speed changes which can throw our balance off.
If you’re stuck with a backward seat – and don’t like it – closing your eyes might help. When we can’t see anything our bodies tend to prepare a little better for the unexpected.
