A simulation device imparts a force corresponding to a simulated event on a user. The simulation device includes a motion base mounted to a moveable surface and a capsule mounted to the motion base. The user is positioned within the capsule during the simulated event, and the motion base is configured to move the capsule relative to the moveable surface. The simulation device further includes a sensor that senses movement of the moveable surface. A controller is operably coupled to both the sensor and the motion base. The controller receives a signal from the sensor and controls the motion base to move the capsule according to the simulated event and the signal received from the sensor.
