Centripetal force is the force keeping an object on a circular trajectory (in a fixed reference frame), in this case it is gravity. In the rotating reference frame, the object is stationary, as centripetal and centrifugal force cancel each other out. As soon as gravity stops, there is no centripetal force anymore. In the rotating reference frame, the object accelerates outwards by the centrifugal force (on a curve due to the Coriolis force); on an fixed reference frame, there is no force and it travels in a straight line.
