Ok, now theoretical question... Imagine the Earth was jolted a few thousand miles in space... not from an impact like an asteroid but something unnnatural. (and not real)
Hmmm.... it's getting obvious this is hard to explain.
Would the water be lurch from earth and go into space?
It's hard to undestand but try to answer anywho ^_^

if earth had a hard enough jolt water would slosh around on it drowning moth things and redistributing the land mass around small portions may reach space but will fall back to earth.
I hope this answers your question

It already is falling in area... an orbit is a freefall round a body. this is region will be minutely affected, until eventually each individual landed. This also assumes that the mass of each individual in the international isn't uniform by the globe, if that were the case, there will be no bring about any respect if each individual jumped with a similar pressure.

It's possible.
the inertia of a fluid like water make stay behind the fastest movement of the solid earth.
just imagine a ball spread of glue or something like jello... now pull it faster and the fluid will be out of the solid ball.
the inertia is a law...

No, Earths rotation keeps us and the water in its place

No, it would only inertia to keep safe
