An object that is in free fall seems to be

An object that is in free fall seems to be weightless, even though the
usual force of gravity is acting on it. 

If the falling object happens to be a person, then every part of him is
falling at the same rate, so none of his internal organs are pressing
against anything like they normally do, and he has no sensation of weight. 

If a bathroom scale happens to be falling with him and he places it under
his feet, it won't read anything, since the scale and the person are both
falling at the same rate.
