He just didn’t understand the gravity of the situation.

    Because from his current position in space, it will be thousands of years before it crushes him.

      I’m not 100% sure, but I think that’s relative time. If he’s caught on its gravitational well, I think he’d just fall in real time from his perspective.

        True, but from his current perspective, time would pass more slowly as he got closer to the event horizon. From his changing perspective, it would just happen in real time, but the perspective he leaves behind would slow down.
