It's connected to how our attention works. Attention is very much tied to vision and, for instance, if you are rotating around your central axis (like a Sufi) and can manage not to focus visually on anything around you and do some "proprioceptive attention adjustments", you can keep spinning for quite a long time w/o getting dizzy. Of course you'll have to slow down slowly rather than just abruptly stop the rotation.
