You would travel about 190 kilometers in 42 seconds....on your arse!
Pick a spot 190 kilometers away and imagine getting there! Arse first!
Then, I assume, it would start to spin again?
An acceleration back up to 1600 kph. A bit uncomfortable I'm guessing!
Adendum:
It was very politely pointed out to me that my maths is slightly out.
My problem is that I have a tendency to confuse sevens and nines!
We would, in fact, all be bouncing 38+- kilometers on our collective arses!
Considerably less uncomfortable! :o)
