First, you would hit the sides. Coriolis - even if through the poles...

Gravity is an acceleration. F=ma or F=mg

When accelerations are balanced - like falling due to gravity that acceleration a=g (weightless, but not massless)

So, you reach terminal velocity on the way down that changes as the air gets thinner, fly back up the other side a ways, and oscillate about the center for a while dead from a lack of O2
