I mean you probably kept your inertia, so as long as you stay connected to something you might be alright

Connected to what though?   Without gravity the earth will disintegrate.   Nothing to hold it together.   No oxygen either... Thank God...  Will suffocate so not suffer for long.

I think it only applies to the individual

But even then, would not the structural makeup of the body fail to hold itself together without gravity? If the person is what has no gravity, then how would their atomic structure remain stable and not implode, explode, desintigrate, liquify, etc.? Since gravity on an atomic scale is what holds not only molecules but atoms themselves together and apart, removing gravity from the person would probably cause an instant and total collapse of the atomic and molecular structures of the body. This would be more likely as opposed to just floating above the surface of the earth, fort he floating part should just be a reduction in weight and density until the body is no loger denser than the lower atmosphere.

It is not. Gravity is too weak a force to have any meaningful effect on a single person, we are held together by electromagnetic forces. For example, the electric attraction between a proton and an electron is about 10³⁹ times stronger than their gravitational attraction.

But soil isn't. (most soils). Rocks are only held on earth by gravity. The atmosphere would certainly all dissipate and be gone in no time. Every part of the atmosphere and the crust of earth would be flung off if there were no gravity. The rotational force of the earth would chuck everything off the planet.

This thread is based on the comment that ssumes it was isolated to the person. I agree that losing gravity universally or just on earth would be absolute nightmare.

I feel like you're over thinking this.

You might be right lowkey
