You'd get thrown eastwards at 1000mph and die

Poor kid on the trampoline. Interesting for someone mid bungee jump.

This correct if the earth stopped suddenly, everything at crust level (including the crust) would get tossed at 1000 mph. Also there are many planets that don’t spin as they orbit their star. They are commonly referred to as eyeball planets. This is because the dark side is frozen and the side that faces their star is not. So it looks something like an eyeball. Additionally, Earths rotation is actually slowing and eventually it will stop and become tidally locked to the sun making it another eyeball planet.

Will it's rotation stop before being gobbled by the Sun or The Terror of Unspeakable Evil, Howard.
