  I think it's bull.

 If a black hole could accelerate an object to near light speed or to
light speed, what would make one believe that the attractor would
release you. If you had enough energy or force to apply for a release, 
you wouldn't need the attractor (black hole). I think the only way would
be to continue into and be ejected from the attractor as happens with
some black holes.  By the way this is for all replying to this thread.
