UK Paramedic Team Tests Jet Pack For Rescues
• Zero Hedge - Tyler DurdenA British jet suit company is revolutionizing how rescuers respond to emergencies in steep, rocky terrain regions. Instead of paramedics scaling the side of a hill, or mountain, on foot, which could take a while, and in an emergency, every minute counts, a "flying" medic could take just a few minutes, reported BBC News.
Gravity Industries, the company behind the flying suit powered by several miniature jet engines, published a video Tuesday of a recent test of its suit in action in Britain's mountainous northern lake district.
