But remember how massive they are? Each of their gravity would be equivilant to something around 4.4m/s^2. So now you have a force of (4.4m/s^2)*(half the mass of the earth) pushing on you from both sides. You'd be crushed. You're thinking that somehow you'd be safe in the middle because there is no gravity. But there is gravity, you're just canceled out from the equivilant mass on both sides. The 2 masses still want to come together whether you're in the middle or not, and their gravitational force will make it so. Then once they collide and become 1 object, gravity will not stop there. It will still cause a force for everything to push towards the center of gravity.
