Skydiving on the Moon

Pretty much instantly. Think of a perfect elevator.

Unless you weren't still: somersaulting (forward or backward), in which case
you would feel it in the same way you would performing the maneuver inside a
weightless spaceship. If you were afraid you might jerk upwards on release,
then ironically the second movement you felt would be a momentary sensation
of going upright (I'm assuming the cable was attached to the waist and you
were face down). But then you'd go full circle. Better to relax, keep
straight, enjoy the sensation of nothingness and trust your equipment.
