I can totally imagine being seriously confused when your ground based inherent sense of balance is distorted by air movements and tight G turns. Being upside down going over the top of a loop at 1g feels like level flight...
It takes a lot to override that and learn to trust the instruments, and how many air accidents have been caused by instruments malfunctioning.
Pitot heads seem to be especially vulnerable to ice or insect infestation.
