First man to be crushed to death on Jupiter doesn't have the same ring to it.
More like in Jupiter. You wouldn't feel much of the gravity at first because you'd be in a freefall, sucked towards the center. The increasingly dense gas will cause huge drag on any protruding body parts, tearing you apart. Its temperature is -150 °C, and even less when taking windchill into account. As you sink, the gas turns fom a haze to dense fog to increasingly liquid-like. Eventually, the density will be the same as your remains (hard to tell what density precisely because they will be crushed by pressure) and the descent will stop. The solids making up your body will probably pulverize over time.
If you're headed towards Jupiter, try to land on one of the four major moons instead. You'll only need to worry about the cold and the much smaller pressure difference.
Stop, I can only get so erect.
And folks thought those idiots in that sub got done in fast and gruesome…
It’s all sky!
But the sky was the limit...
