OK, let’s take a little look at the mathematics behind exactly what a black hole is, then we can figure out what forces we are likely to encounter if we were to fall into one.
In order to do that (without making the math so complicated it is no longer fun), we are going to make some assumptions.
First, we are going to do our own definition of what a black hole is, we are going to call a black hole any object which has an escape velocity (Vesc) equal to or greater than the speed of light (c).
For this we have to define certain constants:
Gravitational Constant (G): 6.67E-11 (should I throw in the units? If this were something I had to turn in for either publication or home work, I would, but it would just make for a lot of extra work here and make things a bit more confusing.)
c: 299792.4562 (km/sec)
Now, what is the diameter of a black hole? A singularity is defined as a point, and a point had no diameter! This simply will not work. Throwing zero into the equation will play havoc with the math and make me much more crazier than I am, and with the price of my meds what they are, I can afford to be crazier.
So, here is what we are going to do, we are going to arbitrarily give our (yes, our, since in only exist in theory, it can belong to anyone and I am feeling generous so I will share it) black hole the mass of the sun, then calculate what the diameter would be to have Vesc=c.
So, let’s add another constant, mass.
Mass of sun:1.99E+30 kg.
Now, let’s look at formulas.
Vesc=square root (2GM/r)
Now, since we know the mass we can change this around to:
r=2GM/Vesc².
Now, since Vesc=c we have r=2GM/c².
Plugging in our constants, we have r=2*6.67E-11*1.99E+30/299792.4562².
Or, r=2953707632 Km! Wait a second, that makes no sense at all! The diameter of the sun is only 1,390,000.00 Km now, so how can that be?
Well, remember when I said I was not going to pay attention to units, there lies the problem.
You see G is measured in m^3/kg*sec² and we sort of need to change c from Km to meters, that is the importance of keeping track of units. Changing that we get:
r=2953.707632 meters, or about 3 Km.
So, now we have our own little black hole, with a radius of 3 Km and Vesc=c
So, back to the original question, what happen when you fall into our little back hole (and ours is little, for an object to become a black hole, it would need a mass much greater than the suns, and the collapse would bring it down to a much smaller radius).
Alright, using this figure, what happens as you fall into it.
The gravational force at surface would be 14746423900000. m/sec² or 1505124350465.68 times that of earth surface gravity!
You would never make to the surface (at least not breathing or in any shape that resembles human). Lets look at the forces 1000 km from the surface.
There gravational forces would be 524557684.1140040000 m/sec², still 53540068.3540550000 times that of earth, but a closer look is what makes it so interesting.
I am going to assume that you are 2 meters long (a bit tall, but it makes it easier to get a date on Friday nights), so if you feet are 1000 km from the surface, then you head would be 1000.002 km from the surface!
So, while your feet are feeling 524557684.1140040000 m/sec², you head is feeling 524555598.4037860000 m/sec² or a difference of 2085.710218 m/sec², or over 200 time the gravity of earth. This force would pull you apart long before you ever reach the surface.
I could go on, but I am sure you see the picture. Nothing can get even close to a black hole and survive, that is why, in theory, a worm hole may be possible using a black hole, actually using one would be impossible.

Once a object enters the event horizon (which is where the black hole becomes black) there is no hope for escape because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. The force of gravity being stronger on you feet than you head would rip you into a million pieces and you would be compacted down into this infinitely dance infinitely small point called the singularity, and time would stop.

Black hole is a star that is so massive that it does not let even the light to escape from it. That is why it is called a black hole. When an object gravitates towards a black hole, it gets pulled into the black hole and becomes a part of it. Remember that a black hole is a massive object that we cannot see; it is not really a hole.

When matter passes over the event horizon of a black hole it is believed that it is crushed into the singularity. It used to be thought that was the end of the story - that the matter was lost to the Universe forever. However, Stephen Hawking has theorised that matter (or rather matter converted to energy) can escape from a black hole.
Wikipedia has a good description of black holes and Hawking radiation

well my dear friend its quite difficult to explain what exactly happen but let me make it simple for you to understand it...
well the object entering the black hole never return back ....
it get converted in to threads that is it get stretched to its maximum limit then it start to converted in to nothingness ....
u know something that the black hole not even allow a single light ray to pass through it it absorb that also ..
and now the real fact what remains behind that tell us about the object being adsorbed by the black hole well only the shadow of that object remain behind on the black hole and that remain there forever .. it only get overridden by the shadow of new objects entering the black hole.....

One theory is that at the center of a black hole is a "point" of extremely dense matter-energy. Any matter or energy which falls into the blac hole's gravity well eventually joins that point, adding to the already immense gravity.
That's the EASIEST theory.
Some think that black holes could essentially be "gateways" to other dimensions or other universes... Explanation of those gets rather complex.

According to one theory,
the object enters the black hole
but it is trapped so after a long period of time, till the energy of the hole wears out it remains trapped until it comes out highly disfigured
note: by a long time i mean a few million yrs or so

observers outside the event horizon cannot see any events which may be happening within the event horizon; thus any energy being radiated or events happening within the region are forever unable to be seen or detected from outside. Within the black hole is a singularity, an anomalous place where matter is compressed to the degree that the known laws of physics no longer apply to it.
