Also of when you stand on a big stone, or something sharp. I am wondering about whether there is a technical possibility of a foot-propelled human aquaplaning, and what speed they would have to attain if so. Greater than the 120mph quote for a bike, I would think.

I will take this new term on board ... But as a mass attempting to carry on in one direction over ruling the intent of changing direction of travel I'm also fairly sure that the previous mislabled 'skidding' and 'slipping' has prevented me from breaking off at the knees and, for a short time, travelling in new and interesting dimensions and directions ]

It's for kids, but I quite fancy a "hooded owl-towel and AquaPlane bundle" (although I'm not quite sure what is owly about the towelly).} aqua-plane.co.uk
