There's a difference between what observers see, and what happens. In the abstract, in a 2d spacetime diagram (ie ignoring angular degrees of freedom), the event horizon is just a line, and an infalling timelike worldline will cross it. Cf [1], a black hole spacetime diagram in Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, via [2].
