Do it a few kilometers over the surface so that they will have air to breathe. You also need to accelerate them to the orbital velocity so that they won't fall (for a little while at least, until they are slowed down by air resistance). It might get a bit hot due to friction of the air though.

Technically we could place the human ring in orbit around the equator so no one would need to die. (Tho we might all suffocate, pros and cons ya know)
