On a structure without gravity and only centripetal (centrifugal pseudo)force how could Lenipobra 'fall' to his death?



I've thought too long on this question and come to the conclusion that Lenipobra would live to die another way.
Please see ldh3790.wix.com/vavatch for a tiresome discussion of this :-)
When Lenipobra leaped over the railing he lost contact with the structure that was exerting the centripetal force on him. Without that there is no feeling of gravity (centrifugal pseudo force) and also there is no gravity. He would float until the curvature of the orbital brought the megaship 'up' to him.

  • thanks for the edit @DavidW - was very confused. My VTC reason is now technically incorrect, but will keep in place because this seems to be asking a physics question
