After reading the Jetman has died from accident using the jet.

Vince Reffet, 'Jetman' pilot, dies in training accident in Dubai - CNN

I watched Silver Surfer movie thinking a portable flying device based on gravitation nullifying material is safer. But it is difficult to balance on the silver surf. Do you know other movies where one can fly without using any jet propulsion? Besides Iron Man powered by tesla electromagnetics. What else can you wear and let you soar the sky?

Back to the Future has the flying skateboard but it is based on jet. Back to Silver Surfer. I hope they can make stand alone movie of him.

My favorite words in the movie is "Whatever this thing is, it has the ability
to convert matter and energy".

My favorite scenes are when the Silver Surfer passes through solid matter without destroying it.

The electrons have Pauli exclusion principle in them. If fermions can be interchanged with bosons and you can temporary restore symmetry in the object. Can you do that? Just for fun, what theoretically would it take for solid objects to pass through each other?
