Truthfuly science does not understand what happens on the other side of a black hole, but they do think the rules of reality would be totally different. You would come out in some other dimension, but what it would be like is a complete mystery. At this time obviously, there is nothing in our technology that could get you through alive.

No one knows, for now, what would happen. That is obvious.
But, since we humans do have a pretty curious mind, we can do speculations and predictions.
Here's what I think. There are many possible scenarios.
Death:
1)being thorn appart/shredded to tiny pieces by the gravitational forces of the black hole. Very possible scenario, might I add.
2)being transformed into pure energy by the time/space warp. Some might not call it death. Either way: farewell to the material part of oneself.
3)being pulled into a different dimension of such time and space characteristics that it is unpossible to survive. It is still beyond our imagination to understand what kind of a dimension that could be.
And, everyone's favorite,
Survival:
Somehow slipping through the black hole (in whatever period of 'time') and coming out on the other side which can be
1)in the same place as the entering point, but a few seconds later (the boring option, yet harmless)
2)in the same place as the entering point, but a few seconds earlier- which would cause the process to repeat until eternity
3)in the same place as the entering point, but in a completely different time (either before or after the initial event)
4)in some really distant, far-away place/part of the galaxy (this is a theory of a black hole being a 'tunnel' or a 'shortcut')
5)somewhere unkown/other dimension, a place where laws of physics that we have known by now do not apply anymore
Either way, the laws I just mentioned are to be forgotten almost immediatelly when talking about black holes. There is something strange, beautiful and still unexplained going on there.
And another thing, maybe black holes do not have an end at all. After all, we didn't find anything close to a 'white door' or a place where things would just pop up/appear out of 'nowhere'. There are just mild evidence of things (stars, light etc) dissappearing and vanishing.
How interesting and worth of thinking....
Great question! Thank you.

A black hole is theoretically believed to be a product of a collapsed star, becoming a very dense object (called a singularity). It's gravity is so strong that it pulls everything to it's center, including light.
Theories abound about this strange object. Some believe that the person (or whatever was sent to inspect the hole) would be torn apart by the intense gravity swirling about the hole (called the Event Horizon). Another theory has that same end but because the gravity is differing in ranges (for example the front of the ship would feel a gravity of earth while the back end would feel lighter or heavier... causing the ship to be torn apart).
Some even believe that time is slowed due to the gravity pulling all things into the center, and so the destruction of whatever entered the hole would be from one part being slower (or faster) than the other.

Well one theory says you would go so fast that time would stand still and you would never get there....so nothing would happen. Another says as you go close to the black hole the gravity at your feet would become so much greater then the gravity at your head you would get torn apart.
Take your choice.

Let's suppose that you get into your spaceship and point it straight towards the million-solar-mass black hole in the center of our galaxy. (Actually, there's some debate about whether our galaxy contains a central black hole, but let's assume it does for the moment.) Starting from a long way away from the black hole, you just turn off your rockets and coast in. What happens?
At first, you don't feel any gravitational forces at all. Since you're in free fall, every part of your body and your spaceship is being pulled in the same way, and so you feel weightless. (This is exactly the same thing that happens to astronauts in Earth orbit: even though both astronauts and space shuttle are being pulled by the Earth's gravity, they don't feel any gravitational force because everything is being pulled in exactly the same way.) As you get closer and closer to the center of the hole, though, you start to feel "tidal" gravitational forces. Imagine that your feet are closer to the center than your head. The gravitational pull gets stronger as you get closer to the center of the hole, so your feet feel a stronger pull than your head does. As a result you feel "stretched." (This force is called a tidal force because it is exactly like the forces that cause tides on earth.) These tidal forces get more and more intense as you get closer to the center, and eventually they will rip you apart.
For a very large black hole like the one you're falling into, the tidal forces are not really noticeable until you get within about 600,000 kilometers of the center. Note that this is after you've crossed the horizon. If you were falling into a smaller black hole, say one that weighed as much as the Sun, tidal forces would start to make you quite uncomfortable when you were about 6000 kilometers away from the center, and you would have been torn apart by them long before you crossed the horizon. (That's why we decided to let you jump into a big black hole instead of a small one: we wanted you to survive at least until you got inside.)
What do you see as you are falling in? Surprisingly, you don't necessarily see anything particularly interesting. Images of faraway objects may be distorted in strange ways, since the black hole's gravity bends light, but that's about it. In particular, nothing special happens at the moment when you cross the horizon. Even after you've crossed the horizon, you can still see things on the outside: after all, the light from the things on the outside can still reach you. No one on the outside can see you, of course, since the light from you can't escape past the horizon.
How long does the whole process take? Well, of course, it depends on how far away you start from. Let's say you start at rest from a point whose distance from the singularity is ten times the black hole's radius. Then for a million-solar-mass black hole, it takes you about 8 minutes to reach the horizon. Once you've gotten that far, it takes you only another seven seconds to hit the singularity. By the way, this time scales with the size of the black hole, so if you'd jumped into a smaller black hole, your time of death would be that much sooner.
Once you've crossed the horizon, in your remaining seven seconds, you might panic and start to fire your rockets in a desperate attempt to avoid the singularity. Unfortunately, it's hopeless, since the singularity lies in your future, and there's no way to avoid your future. In fact, the harder you fire your rockets, the sooner you hit the singularity. It's best just to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Hi. Assuming you could teleport yourself beyond the event horizon (and some speculation supports this in theory) no one knows what you would find. Most agree, though, that the "normal" laws of physics would not apply. Time, as we know it, would not exist. Matter, as we know it, MAY not exist. Ignoring tidal forces, the speed of any matter could NOT exceed the speed of light even though gravity would try to increase the orbital speed. Al in all a pretty interesting place.

You would be shredded and what's left would be plastered onto the incredibly dense body at the centre of the black hole. Yes, its not a pretty picture !

Your body will be torn in pieces due to the massing gravitational pulls.
