Paramedic Mountain Rescue!

A fantastic couple of days in the Lake District testing out how extreme Jet Suit mobility can support emergency paramedic response in the mountains. The Great North Air Ambulance reached out and constructed a typical rescue scenario. Calling in helicopter support for each and every case isn't possible or practical which leaves vehicle & foot approach. What if the Critical Care first responder could locate and stabilise the casualty within minutes of vehicle arrival. Well in this exercise we did it in 90 seconds vs the 25 minutes of arduous climb!

Who knows what the future holds but this is a start we are very proud of.

Catch the behind the scenes flight testing the day before, at the end of the film!

BACKGROUND
With a rich family history in Aviation, former Oil Trader & Royal Marines Reservist, Richard Browning, founded pioneering Aeronautical Innovation company, Gravity Industries in March 2017 to launch human flight into an entirely new era.

The Gravity #JetSuit uses over 1000bhp of Jet Engine power combined with natural human balance to deliver the most intense and enthralling spectacle, often likened to the real life Ironman.

Gravity has to date been experienced by over a billion people globally and covered by virtually every media platform. The Gravity Team, based in the UK, have delivered over 100 flight & Speaking events across 30 countries including 5 TED talks.

“The team and I are delivering on the vision to build Gravity into a world class aeronautical engineering business, challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation, and inspire a generation to dare ask 'what if…”

Watching this man fly on a commercially available jet pack while being filmed in 4K by a drone I realized that we are living in the science fiction dream of my childhood. CRAZY!!!

[peerally]

If i was in emergency up in a mountain like that and the rescuer uses that, i won't be injured anymore to try that jetpack.

[elizabethzemola]

This is amazing, I was a volunteer EMT/firefighter in the mountains of Colorado and when time is of the essence I think this device is going to save a lot of lives. Great application of tech guys!

[BrassMtn]

Could you imagine being out hiking then you hear some jet engines coming and then see this flying at you!? Lmao so crazy, I love it

[DhanishtaDevi]

This has so much potential for search and rescue operations, whether it be going up moutainsides, over forests, water or floodwaters, accessing disaster zones or for any number of activities in so many fields of human endeavour. It should not be confined just for military use. The world very much needs this useful invention! It can help save many lives.

[doodihealz]

if we could go back even 400 years and show people this. i couldn't even begin to imagine their reactions. You are inventing the future

[sdpbjoi]

Переполняют удивительные, радостные эмоции когда видишь таких счастливых людей и такие красивые места. От увиденного хочется жить.

[Twizzledoc]

I can imagine someone watching this video 120 years from now and saying “wow that thing is primitive”

[johnnyfiveo]

the one weekend it wasn't raining in the UK :)

What a truly incredible moment for them. Everyone is gonna want one of these I know I do but to see it going to a mountain rescue team you can't get any cooler than that.

[JerseyRepresenting]

"It truly is an incredible moment." When I was a kid, everything we witness at this moment was science fiction. The internet, drones, and friggin jet pack heros. Lucky guys to be apart of the start of something very exciting

[smtn]

You can keep all the military interest - that's pretty well a 'given' - but using a jet suit for mountain rescue in this way will be a fantastic tool in the arsenal of the paramedic rescue services in difficult terrain. Great video.

With more than 80% of the land covered with rugged hills and gigantic mountains, I believe Nepal can be the next big project destination for you guys. As a budding medical student and a true admirer of the medico-technology blend, I wholeheartedly welcome you to take on and conquer some of the finest trekking trails in the world. The trekking trails in Nepal receive a heavy flow of tourists each season and the number of unfortunate accidents that take place in these steep and dangerous trails is umpteen. In this context, your emergency service can prove life-saving in many such incidents, and alongside it can be a real challenge faceoff for you guys to check the practical use along with the extents and limitations of your project. It would be a matter of great honor if in case it is possible for me to be a part of this prestigious mission. More power to you guys!

[MrMutt]

Imagine being able to take the injured back with you to safety, not sure this could happen due to variety of injuries, thanks to great people who come out, risk their lives to come in our need, bless you all.

[kingponto]

Can we all take a minute to admire the pure passion for saving lives and rescuing people that Andy has at the end? He sounds like he is almost in tears at the thought of being able to help people more.

[eric.is.online]

Between this and a drone that could ferry extra supplies you could have a very robust rapid response in harsh terrain. Outstanding work as always folks.

[Shibbynow]

As a This is the coolest backpack blower ever!! Can't wait now for fall with this on my back!!

[underdogmelting]

Crazy never thought in my lifetime i would witness this our generation has been lucky enough to witness so much history

[bou]

This looks like the perfect use case. Human personal flight is a reality and it is amazing.

Imagine you fell off of a cliff, hit your head really hard and are saying to yourself "Just stay awake, focus on familiar things.. Okay the sky is blue, that's a cloud, the grass is waving in the wind... Oh! There's help!! Wait...Umm, no the paramedic is literally flying in the air".
"Well s*** I'm definitely dead already"
