During the flight, the man (with the very player-character-like name Franky Zapata) carried a backpack with 40l+ kerosene. Which burns pretty well.

Once someone makes it on a hoverboard without refueling so the French Foreign Legion can swarm over the White Cliffs of Dover, then we can consider it a terrifying accomplishment and a prelude to war.
