I was wondering that actually if the hole goes through your leg does it leave a hole or does your whole body get sucked in.

I imagine it is the whole body unless you are travelling really fast at the time. Like near speed of light.

Because the gravity outside the event horizon will still be crazy strong going out for several km (earth is a good comparison in the gravity is still fairly strong about 6000km from the centre)

Black holes warp the spacetime around them, so your idea of distance is isn't really valid. Also the idea of time is warped as well, so the black hole doesn't quite just pass through your leg as you expect.

Nor does the black hole "suck" anything in.

What would happen from your perspective if such a black hole were to pass you at high velocity would be the same as if you were to pass the black hole at high velocity. From your perspective, you would begin orbiting that object, carried along with it. So would all the matter near you. But it would be matter, not objects, as the tidal forces would spaghettify all objects very quickly.

Sounds like the centre is what creates gravity. But there's weightlessness at the Earth center. It's the sum gravity force of all Earth particles that creates total gravity.

Depends on the size of the hole. If it's small enough, all you might get is one long bruise due to tidal/gravity effects, without losing a single atom of your body

[dotancohen]

This is incorrect. Any matter within about three Schwarzschild radii will never escape the black hole - i.e. will be carried along with it - even if the black hole passes you at the speed of light.

And if the black hole passes you at a velocity lower than the speed of light, then the radius grows. That matter will begin orbiting the black hole and will leave your body just as fast as the black hole left.
