Inertia is an inherent property of mass, not something that gravity imparts. That said, in the case you're describing, your inertia is why you would be able to escape the gravitational pull (or at least escape the range where it's significant, since technically gravity has infinite range but the force imparted scales down by the square of the distance) instead of being sucked directly into the planet as soon as the gravity caught you. You might not feel it, since that would be a pretty gradual force, but you still have inertia regardless of what force is acting on you.

what i mean is, will the people in the ship get whipped up into the ceiling of their ship or not
