NASA Building Giant Roller Coaster For Science 85
Jamie found a story of NASAs Giant "Science" Roller Coaster. It will be used as an escape chute on rocket launchpads, and will be the 3rd highest drop in the world. More like the Cedar Point Demon Drop than a roller coaster, but still, I'd ride it.

One minute you are sitting the aiming for the ky, the next you are hurtling downwards towards the centre of the Earth.
I hope the harness is easier to use than a real coaster though, it should really just be a sheet of webbing covering everywhere at the push of a button.
An injured guy in a spacesuit isn't going to be able to sit in correct position, you will just want to lob him in a row of seats and be done.

No doubt it would be highly exciting as the shuttle or rocket it was attached to is probably in the process of exploding.
Lemme know how it goes.
