“Humans can’t walk on liquid water (with perhaps one famous exception) because we are too heavy and break the surface tension of the water.”

Not true. Many of us walk on water all of the time. Especially in the winter. Some of us even skate on water.

Actually, a skater is actually skating on liquid water. The extreme pressure caused by the edge of the skate causes the water to melt.

So when Dash finds out he can run on water in the film, "The Incredibles", his ability is backed up by Science!

I just took a look at that scene, and I would estimate that he's running at about 100 to 150 mph.

Wouldn’t gravity also affect the surface tension of water? I mean, doesn’t surface tension depend on atmospheric pressure? Atmospheric pressure depends on ......

You get the idea.

One other option would be hydroplaning, meaning pushing our feet down onto the water’s surface faster than the water can escape. Estimates say we would need to reach speeds over 65 miles per hour for this to work.
