Hi Double-A It is also said "That if you are very close to the event

notice this because you are dead.No return ticket for sure Bert



No Bert, that's for a much smaller theoretical black hole, where one
would be close enough to the singularity that the tidal forces would be
great. For a solar system sized theoretical black hole, the tidal
forces at the event horizon would be small, and one would have many
minutes left to live inside the black hole. But one would be across
that event horizon in much less than the blink of an eye!

The spaghetti stretching would come later.
