The report mentions the somatogravic illusion. It's not a human error, it's a human limitation arising from the fact the human body has not evolved to cope with the sustained acceleration achieved by mechanical transport. It's more common than you would think and a real killer. As it's a function of the acceleration rate, it can affect both pilots equally.
