Maybe a looping from times to times would reduce the fear of space above the passengers.



And it would make those warnings about your baggage maybe having moved in flight much more notable.


A proper loop will maintain constant positive G's. Wouldn't anticipate too much shifting. You wouldn't even need your seatbelt.

Although I can say from experience, walking around at 1.5 G is uncomfortable, 2 G is downright tricky.

Anything not held down - imagine all the laptops and electronic gear - flying around the cabin...
