What If You Fell Into the Deepest Hole on Earth?

This is the deepest hole mankind has ever dug. It's a straight drop into the bowels of the Earth. For 20 years, Russian scientists and engineers drilled deeper and deeper, hoping to uncover whatever mysteries the hole may hold,
earning it the ominous nickname of "The Well to Hell."
What would happen if, for whatever reason, you fell into this hole?
What would happen to your body? How deep would you fall?
