During an Emergency Decent the pilots would descend to FL100 or MSA (whichever is higher).

They would do this by deploying the speed brake and accelerate to VMO/MMO (if structurally capable).

Initially, you will feel the decent and possibly some 'negative G' but as CV has already said, once the forces are equal, you will not notice it.
