Einstein claims that when you are in free fall you do not feel

I feel some vertigo in my stomach, so I know I'm in free fall.
Is this feeling an evidence that the equivalence principle is
false?

Thanks in advance for your wise answers.

Try the following experiment: get into a big cardboard box. Ask some
peple to push the box off the roof of the tallest building in your
town. Come back and report the observed results.
