Jet Pack for Paramedics in the Lake District

It was on BBCnewsHD
Great Use of this Gear
He could get up that mountain fast
saving someone if they had a heart attack


Should be up and running in a few months
into next year.

That's great, however it's not without risk for the user. The paramedic could end up more in need of assistance than the casualty :/

Proper Training
I am sure they will be able to Fly up there fast
saving the life of someone.

It could take 40 to 45mins
to climb up normal.

i want one!

As if 2020 couldnt get any weirder

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Best job ever??? Flying in over the hills like Tony Stark to save the day!

Imagine breaking your legs in a remote field on a hike of the Lake District and being seen to by some tit with a leaf blower on their back

Cost £340,000

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

:joker:

What kind of idiot breaks both legs in a remote field?

A co-worker of mine's wife badly broke her leg in the middle of nowhere actually. She wasn't rescued by The Rocketeer, though, it was six lads with a stretcher.

One legs just a flesh wound.

Mmmmmm not convinced ..

The inventor was on telly tonight raving about the NEW version (still prototype ) which is far better and will fly for 6 minutes !!!!

Suggesting that the current ones fly for rather LESS than 6 minutes !!

That doesn’t sound very long at all in my book !!!!

Yeah! She shoulda hopped.

(In all seriousness though, I believe the bone was out through the skin, a very nasty injury by all accounts)

In the ChooChube video the test pilot got from his starting point to the patient (an actor in this case) in 90 seconds :omgno:. I don't think the idea would be for them to grab the injured person and fly back down... it's really about getting a first responder on-scene fast, especially if someone has collapsed for example, but also there's a risk of going into shock etc. with a bad injury. I'm ASSUMING they would then just stay with the person until other "traditional" help arrived to help them down. Although I love the idea of them grabbing them by the ankles and flying back down the hill :joker:.

It doesn't sound like an injury you would pick up rambling through a remote field.:shrug:

In Wales they have that bloke and his wheelie bin tearing up the road...be thankfull.

If it’s got less than 5 minutes flying time I certainly wouldn’t be flying very high or going over water as it illustrated ...

Maybe it beeps when it's nearly dead. BEEP BEEP get off the laaaakkkeeee.

It looked impressive.
Interesting.

the paramedic can zoom to the location ... but it's a long walk home :laugh:

I saw footage of a paraffin fuelled jet pack ...

I think I’ll pass on anything like that .. maybe battery powered with at least 30 minutes guaranteed flight time ..

Plus if the engine fails you’re gonna need a flamin medic yourself ..
