Question: Is there any way to propel a human being so he can fly but he can control his flight pattern?

er i am really not too sure. I have heard of guys wearing things called wingsuits, which is pretty well described in the name. They then jump from a plane or a high cliff, and glide down. They have some amazing control over their direction – check out the incredible videos on youtube. The (obviously crazy) people actually purposefully fly as near as possible to the cliff face!!
Apart from that, maybe rocket (jet) packs? These don’t work too well, as they normally run out of fuel after a few minutes…
