If the black hole is large enough (like the 4 million solar mass at our galaxy center), the point where tidal forces become unbearable lies way inside the event horizon. You could fall through the event horizon and not even notice unless paying attention to your navigation instruments. You'd continue to fall for the next 30 seconds blissfully unaware that there is now no chance to escape. You WILL get spaghettified in the last second before impact with the singularity though.
