It is great stuff - you lose you abilities and you don't care. "Adaptation"
is like closing one eye when driving drunk. Ask any drunk if he is ok to
drive and see if you can find one that ever says "no".

Agreed!
So when going down fast, it is the lower order brain functions, like
equilibrium, motion control, that get impaired first, this  is monitored
by the higher functions, which then seem to be impaired as well,
.....adaptation.
When going down slowly, the higher functions are affected hand in hand,
so no monitoring.
Though, I have seen amazing inter- and intraindividual adaptations. Not
enough to make a system of it ...
