Ah I see where you are coming from now ampan.

However reviewing a video won't help you understand because you have none of the physiological factors present.

The propreoceptive feedback (seat of the pants feelings) from muscles and nerves allied with the semi-circular canals in the ears provide powerful orientation signals - the brain will interpret these (possibly erroneously) and calculate what it thinks is the local vertical and therefore where the horizon is.
