If a much larger planet collided with Earth, would we be sucked into its gravitational pull before it actually hit?

So in other words, if I were standing on the point of impact, would I just be crushed by the incoming planet, or would I be sucked 'upward' into the planet and then be sandwiched by the two planets?

**EDIT:** Also, if anybody wants to jump in and explain any other more impending factors involving this sorta death (e.g., friction, atmospheric pressure, poisoning from the other planet's own atmosphere, changes in temperature, weather, etc) please feel free to do so.

Depends on the density of the larger planet.  If it were a low density, Hydrogen/Helium planet like Jupiter, the Earth would crash into it before things fell off the surface of the Earth.

If the planet had a higher density than the Earth (some kind of Super-Mercury), then once the Earth crossed the Roche limit, the tidal shear of it's gravity would be sufficient that objects of the Earth's surface would fall faster than the Earth as a whole, and would leave the Earth's surface, and impact the other body.  You'd die from impact the other planet before the Earth caught up.

The Earth isn't a particularly solid body in context (it's made of broken rocks, and a lot of interior liquid/easily deformable bits, so it probably wouldn't just be surface bits that fell off - the upper layers would break into small pieces and also fall apart faster.
