You would end up coming to a stop and falling in the other direction.

No, then it would have a bottom. For this pit to be truly bottomless (and considering someone died before hitting anything, it appears to be) it has to go on forever in a supernatural way.

I think you can also have a bottomless pit by simply having a large hole that goes all the way through a planet, directly through its center. But then you'd just go back and forth until wind resistance stops you.

I suppose you're technically correct, as it has two tops, but no bottom. But the positioning of the corpse doesn't make sense for a body that's been going back and forth rather than just one direction the whole time.
