Assuming I am physically in the same place, I will fall to my death. If I somehow survive the fall I would be severely injured and alone in the wilderness. Within a few days I would probably die of either my injuries, dehydration, or hypothermia.

Scientifically speaking, the earth is constantly moving in an upward spiral. Your exact physical location would put you in some random outerspace area without oxygen or any protection. Just floating in space until you die.

  Scientifically speaking, there is no absolute reference frame. So you can be wherever you like depending on what reference you choose.

  How do you define upwards in space? North? Or maybe normal to the orbit and vaguely north?
