Missing is a very good talent to have. According to The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, one can fly by simply falling and "missing" the ground.

I often try to reassure those who fear heights that the object of fear should not be the proximity between up and down, nor the process of getting closer to the latter at incremental velocity, but to hit something solid, hard enough to cause an enduring sensation of pain.

It never works.
