I think it is not possible, my friend seems to think if you press hard enough on the atmosphere it will become dense enough to jump on.

I am trying to prove him wrong, okay.
 
Do a rough sum and show it to him . You have air density and area of bottom of an average foot . How fast would the foot have to be traveling through the air to get any useful lift force ?

We do not debunk nonsense here at the PF. Thread is closed.
