(You are accelerating down, therefore if you do not pull your arm down with you it will swing up, therefore your arm feels like its "pulling upwards" - so it feels lighter - which feels like gravity is weaker. | |

Added some "physics terms" at the end to connect the answer to more rigorous answers.
