As a layman I think that if your rocket were to lower a rope towards the event horizon, the rope after it passed through - would start acting like an anchor. You cannot get it out, anymore - you can follow it or let go.
The same would go for your legs. Event horizon is an abstract limit at which not even light can escape. __not even light__. I guess that the point of no escape for your rocket, no matter how powerful it was, was far, far more.
What happens if a contemporary earth rocket would go into orbit around Jupiter? At some level it couldn't get away with its engines. That would be the point of no return. Nothing inherently bad happens, except there is no way to go but down.
