A friend of mine, who is 93, was in the Navy and was the Gunner of a Navy Dive Bomber in WWII.
I asked him if he ever feared falling out of his seat when the pilot went into his dive over a ship after he told me the dive was so steep, it felt like he would fall out. He told me that he feared the Japanese fighter coming at him more than falling out, lol.
EDIT: I removed the previous edit since he seemed rather ashamed about some of the stuff we've talked about.
