It depends on how great the gravitational gradients are. Gravity follows the Inverse square law, so The gravitational attraction force between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separation distance . The force is always attractive and acts along the line joining them.(Wikipedia says this but my physics text book confirms, in case you wanted an exact answer) In extreme situations, like that found around stellar mass black holes, the gravitational gradient between say your head and feet is great enough that it will rip you in half, thus killing you. Don't believe me, look up spaghettification :-). In super massive black holes, you have to descend fairly deep into the black hole for the effect to take hold

Is there safe gravity range on venus?

Can gravity kill someone?

Definitely. If you were to step off of the edge of the roof of a building, gravity would cause you and the Earth to accelerate toward each other, and the distance between you would fall at an ever-increasing rate until you encountered the surface and stopped falling. Up until that instant, it might not bother you much, but that meeting between you and the surface would be another matter ... one which, in the case of a building with more than a few stories, you likely could not survive. By all means, blame it all on gravity.
