A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for anything not even light to escape its gravitational pull.

The gravitation pull of a black hole is bigger than the speed of light and since nothing is bigger than the speed of light nothing can escape a black hole it will be sucked back in.

When you get close to a black hole you will start to be ripped apart since the pull "tidal forces" starts to effect the parts of your body that are closest to the black hole first and you will start to "stretch" and eventually be ripped a part to pieces.

This will happen to everything that goes into a black hole.
