Telle -- From an airplane (sic(k))? I was thinking more in terms of an
external overload e.g., inertial or isokinetic (not unloading-overload altitude

Telle -- Seems to me a dynamic inertial loading is quite the bit more
economical than interfacing 3??— Olympic bars with load cells and micro 
processors.
Not to mention that the feedback is kinesthetic not requiring distracting
visual compliance.
