Sure, the force is strongest when he initially yanks it into the turn, but his blood distrbution is still going to be affected if he stays in the turn forever, because of centrifical force. Even though he isn't accelerating.
Same thing with one of those carousel things at an amusement park.
But getting back to the point in hand. Take a half-full bottle of water, and glue a big weight on the bottom so that it will fall bottom-first. Take it up in Felix's balloon, and drop it. The water would shift to the top and stay there until terminal velocity is reached. Thus proving that fluids will shift inside a falling body. And I'm saying you'll feel that. Shit I feel it just on a trampoline.
