It's generally the closest humans get. Controlled flying, I mean. Planes and helicopters goes higher than any roller coaster though so I guess that's a little closer if you have windows open and aren't willing to go skydiving or gliding. Those are a little less controlled.

[ Yet it's still a certain level of controlled, and has some safety measures even when it's just chute. ]

Oh, there's bungee-jumping too I guess.
