      Hi keight

      No it’s not possible to walk on custard, we would fall and sink right into it! It would be nice to be embedded in that though 😉

      Yes it is…..John Tickle did it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN2D5y-AxIY&feature=kp

      This is because it’s a non- newtonian fluid, meaning it doesn’t act like water (quick sand is another example) where applying a certain force causes the starch to act like a solid.

      So there you go….you can walk on custard!

      Mythbusters did it too…

      but just because you can, does’t mean you should….

      Though in this case I think its something that everyone should try!
