EXTREME(ly stupid) SPORTS!
Yes! You too can take a page from yet another crappy episode of ST: Voyager and launch yourself into orbit, not inside a relatively safe space capsule, but strapped to the actual nose of the rocket, guide yourself gently to the ISS for a brief stay, and then parachute to the ground, protected only by a heat shield strapped to your back and nothing else.

While all of this nonsense is technically feasiable, actually doing it is something I doubt even the most insane thrillseeker would contemplate. Though I'd love to see NASA's face when the would-be astronaut proposes flinging himself to the ISS with no more guidance than a GPS monitor.
