"You Do Not Fall down until You Realise You are Unsupported
When you run over the edge of a cliff, you will be able to run several paces before you realise something is wrong. You will remain suspended in mid-air until you look down. You can use the suspended moment to turn to the camera and gulp, but you will still fall. "
This destinct version of flying can also be found in the book of all things that are holy, otherwise known as 'The Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy'. Where the hap-hazard human named Arthur Dent finds himself 'forgeting' to hit the a gound and therefore ultimatly succeeding in the tricky defintion of flight as mentioned in the book of Life, the Universe and Everything.
