Gravity is acceleration. What else accelerates? Rockets! Take an unfortunate person, right? Attach a bottle rocket to his hands that points down. Now attach a jet engine to his waist pointing down. Now attach a rope connected to an artillery cannon shell to his feet (going down). Even if you’re in space, not moving at the beginning, and each acceleration is toward the same direction (down), the different accelerations will act on your body differently. After a few seconds of picking up speed, your hands would only be going 20m/s down while your feet are going 100m/s, and that causes you to stretch. And blackholes don’t just give you 3 different kinds of acceleration, it gets way higher even if you’re 5 feet closer to the blackhole. So there’s no place to get torn apart because anywhere you would get torn would instead be accelerating the same speed as the neighboring matter.
