“You mean its not possible to hang on to a palm tree in a typhoon, be blown horizontal but not lose your hat?”

Actually, I think from classical fluid dynamics, if you are in a horizontal position and there is a strong zonal flow around your head, it may be impossible to lose your hat.

I remember there were occassional demostrations of this principle by putting a plastic ball under a vertical zonal flow and it would remains suspended in a stationary spot even when you tried to punch it.
