      It’d probably be a little chaotic at first! Cars and bus’ would probably crash.
      The poor people on bouncy castles and trampolines would start flying up.
      Air would start being sucked out of the atmosphere… which might be good for global warming.
      When the gravity comes back all the people flying up from the trampolines would probably fallout of the sky! Buildings and bridges would feel a sudden force shock which could break some of them!
      It wouldn’t be a great experience, but it probably wouldn’t hurt too many people.
      Great question,
      Ryan

      If we lost gravity for 5 seconds, not much would happen because its so quick. We might float about a bit but not so much that we could fly off into space
