spending an eternity falling isn't too attractive an idea for most. Each their own though!
The Earth is not infinite though. If the walls are smooth and indestructible and there is no air resistance, you'd reach the other side in about 40 minutes and briefly stop, allowing you to climb out on the other side with some agility.
The temperature of the Earth's core is ~6,000°c, so make sure you dress lightly and stay hydrated.
Gravity says you get stuck somewhere in the middle.
