^^^I've never fallen in so, I wouldn't know...

But, I could make a guess. If I can remember from when I had physics in undergrad, the equations of gravity show that gravity changes more and more quickly as you near the center of an object.

There's also a difference between falling into a small black hole vs. falling into a really big one, like the one at the center of our galaxy, or the one in the article. Smaller black holes allow you to get much closer to their centers before you enter their event horizons, so the change of gravity over small distances would more likely than not be devastating, if you were to fall in.

With bigger black holes, their total gravity is monstrous, but the difference in gravity from your head to your toes near their event horizon is relatively small, when compared to smaller black holes. Long story short, anyone who fell in would get ripped apart, it would just be more painful falling into a smaller black hole.

Which movie was it? I'd like to see it, if I haven't already.
