Aaaaargh!!!!!!
Centripetal/centrifugal forces DO NOT EXIST!!!
All you are doing is adding up forces and saying "I'll call this X".
When you swing a bucket, you exert a force because you are accelerating an object, in order to get it to spin in a circle. There is no "Escape Attempt force", or "Restrain" force, they are the result of other forces at work. This is where the misconception comes from.
As Psyk said, it's like accelerating in a car.
