The only way Earth could leave the solar system would be for a star or isolated planet to approach near enough to totally disrupt its orbit. The "grip" you mention is called gravity, and unless the sun loses its gravity...not very likely...Earth will continue in its present orbit for a very long time.
All the planets including Earth have been in stable orbits for billions of years. The only possibility of a disturbance would be gravitational effects from a 'rogue star' or a 'rogue Jupiter' passing near Earth. This would be a very unlikely occurrence.

It will only happen if the mass of the planets change which is unlikely or the sun changes orbit even though it only can spin...
No it can't be whipped out like a sling shot on its own. It might gradually spiral out or gradually spiral in but if that was going to happen it would take millions if not billions of years.
Only if it is rejected by the American Idol judges when it tries to sing "Lady Marmalade".
If it hasn't happened in the last 4 billion years I think we're safe.
Nahh we safe.........for now.
