      Falling into a black hole is almost always fatal.

      Almost??

        Happened to me last Tuesday and I’m still alive.
        But I admit I got lucky with the angle, and the cats.

        It’s entirely possible to live inside the event horizon. “Falling” is a problematic word.

            Only if the tidal forces are large enough. For a small black hole, the tidal forces will kill you before you reach the EH.
