Inside Jupiter I like that because there is nothing to stand on

There are plenty of layers that are far denser than you, all the way down to the theorized metallic hydrogen, but you'd be squished thinner than a sheet of paper long before you got to worrying about where to stand.

Won't you only really sink until your body density roughly matches the air density, since past that buoyancy will try to carry you upward again? Not to say it won't still be deadly, you'll be suffocated and probably also cooked, but crushed too?

I'd think you're correct (thinking in scuba terms). So add 50-60 lbs of lead and have a party!

There's a great write-up somewhere on Reddit from many years ago ( here it is ) about what would happen if you fell into Jupiter. I read it once every couple years, one of my favorite posts.
