Any one of the observers is freely falling, so from their point of view they are stationary, with no forces acting on them. So the effect is that you look around, you see a bunch of objects are accellerating towards you in an arc that encompasses about 180 degrees. Then you notice that you're losing energy or mass in a direction opposed to all of those objects.
Do I have that right? It seems pretty counterintuitive, not that intuition is necessarily all that trustworthy.
