So for instance, a spaceship could or a human could not reach the event horizon of a tiny black hole in one piece, because it would be torn apart by the gravitational tides. So the question is how close can you come to the event horizon before gravitation rips you apart. My guesstimation would be not close enough to reach a meaningful percentage of c.
