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!!!
yesssss.. my thoughts.. I remember as a child I'd watch Jetsons thinking: "man, how crazy that their phones have video… wonder if this will be possible"… And today it's become the most trivial thing in the world.
hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out emt practice exams try Elumpa Paramedic Expert Alchemist (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
@@techfreak111 I think he means to the point where this technology will become mainstream, and accessible to almost anyone. Now that would be badass, i could see them adding jet pack events to the Olympics lmfao
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.
Yeah right, that’s why they had to literally carry the jet pack up the hill. Plus, actual mountains are windy, which reduces safety and maneuverability a lot. And it’s just one person instead of a team, like a good pilot + a medic. I don’t see any advantages of this over a traditional helicopter rescue like REGA in Switzerland.
that thing probably has a 90 second flight time.... drones are the MUCH better option. sending a single person into some place hard to access cool but that's about it
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.
I’m still looking at stuff from about 120 years ago and impressed they were ahead of their time. When I found they had mobile radio reciever and headphones in New York in the 1920s, I was impressed.
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!
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!
The last bit both because helping people and really who wouldn’t want to have an opportunity to fly one of these unless they’re really afraid of heights
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.
Its not very practical though with all this fuel needed. I can't see an application beyond mountain rescue, into leisure. Personal ion thrusters are very energy efficient but they can't lift heavy weight.
I will buy them out with my investors patient and develop the fuel cell, viola! It has possible variations perhaps a nuclear cell and a toggle with a carbon grapphene skeleton, if the company vacations in Vegas , stay in your lane and meet me on the helo deck at the Bellaggio, I’ll be drawing chips for all my employees.
@@tulebox Yeah, but if someone is bleeding out or needs critical meds like an Epipen when moments mean life or death then this is when it counts the most. Not for every situation, but some for sure. It has limitations for sure too. but every new tech does, and it will improve. Great point though.
Imagine you fell off of a cliff, hit your head really hard and are saying to yourself "Just stay awake, focus on familiar things..

This will reshape entertainment industry and that's about it. Still loads of money to be made, but it simply can't compete with aircrafts or FPV drones in terms of practicality.
@@Teng376 Well in its intended use it does compete pretty well, the point of it is rapid response and does that exceedingly well. What would of been a 30 minute walk up the hills to get to an injured and potentially dying person now takes about 2 minutes with this thing.
@@WhatIsLove170 That is true. However, there are also other personal, compact aircraft like the JB11 JetPack and Flyboard Air. Those are allegedly much easier to operate (less training required) making them more suitable for these sort of applications
@@WhatIsLove170 While I agree with this example, the situation in which there's a person injured so badly that it won't make it another few minutes for the medical helicopter to come, yet at the same time can be saved by a medic with hardly any equipment is such a rare occurrence, that it won't justify buying enough of those suits so that they can cover the entire country such that response time can be short enough to make it viable at all (remember they have enough fuel for roughly 10 minutes). Meanwhile a good FPV drone costs $1000, is risk free for the operator, can be stored in a car or even in a rescuer's backpack, can have thermal cameras installed, can fly for longer and can locate an injured person and call in a medical helicopter just as well if not better than the person in suit. They can even be automated and sent in swarms to scan a big area very quickly. For the price of one suit you could supply dozens of these devices to the rescuers.
And it actually goes some way to restoring faith in humanity, because at the same time the Royal Navy are testing this technology for combat operations, it is being utilised in the civilian world to deliver life saving care to unfortunate souls who find themselves injured and/or ill in remote, inhospitable locations where they could decline rapidly and never even make it to hospital. People are keen to simply concentrate on all the negatives about Britain (be them legitimate or otherwise) but this fills me with pride.
@@Ironfangzu "Adorn" isn't a big word Did it cross your mind that English might be their second language, they may be dyslexic, or even just a kid? Obviously not Not everyone speaks perfect English, and we're certainly not obliged to either We knew what he meant, you know what he meant, and people are a lot more bothered by your deliberately snyde bullshit than his small literary mistake.
It's got great potential for search and rescue organisations but at a cost of just over £300,000 for the jet pack, I cant see many people in the general public being able to fly anytime soon
Too true, man. I recently discovered that if one turns off one's phone, puts on one's boots, and goes hiking on a mountainside, life gets a lot better. Strongly recommend it!
@@PrestigeWorldWidePWW For what it's worth, I share your sentiment. However, we were just commenting on the fact that life improves when politics is forgotten for a while lol the irony...
Absolutely fantastic that the relevant organisations and Regulators have had the foresight to get onboard with this initiative and put it into practice (with real trials). This is "Can-Do" at its best, it will be good for everyone involved, the accident victims and will be Great for Britain too. Well done to Richard, Andy and all involved! - including those un-seen, unsung regulators who have recognised the value of this service and helped keep it safe.
Operator rule number one. If you get a real itchy left testicle dont automatically scratch it. Rule number two. Dont make other hill walkers bald before their time.
Have been following gravity since day one , real fan of hardwork that you guy put into it , and every day , every video showing how this extension of human minds can be utilised in the best way for the well being of the humanity
@@НиколайХанзо Yes and no... To this day, there is no imaging system that has the amount of recognition as the brain and human eye combo. Sure, you can have someone sat on the other side of a monitor watching through a camera but its just not the same as having your own human eyeballs to look around with in real-time. Also, humans are naturally able to recognise things that seem out of place. I mean, you can teach a drone to spot a body shape from the air but what if the patient crawled under a plastic sheet to keep dry? A drone would fly over and not recognise it. A human specifically looking for someone would see the body shape under the plastic and investigate. Even if its monitored by a human, the drone has to get pretty close to what its looking at to see with the kind of detail the human eye can see with. Personally, I'd prefer a human looking for me. Sure, drones can help and they should most definitely be used. But you can't beat "boots on the ground".
If i get to choose, i might ask to be alive about another 100 years from now, we made progress no doubt about that, but we are still driving in cars that have 4 wheels, living in houses that are the same, of course cars and houses are more comfortable now, we have made huge leaps on the way we communicate, internet, smart phones and video conferencing, they make trains high speed but its a form of transport that has been there for more than 100 years. Interplanetary travel is not possible in our time, we will work hard but people that are born in about 80 years from now will reap all the rewards, they may have to contend with a world that has a really bad environment given our focus now is not to save the planet.
@@danielrodrigues4903 I see this and it makes me feel akin to how the Victorians must have felt as they read about the Telegraph and Morse code. Being a patient in a 1940s hospital suffering from a bacterial infection, fearing the worst, and then receiving a clinical trial of Penicillin. Or huddled around a small black and white TV with your family in 1969 as Apollo 11 blasted off into the unknown. I'm a child of the 1980s, and despite seeing some amazing technological achievements throughout my 40 years upon this earth, I _never_ thought I would live long enough to see a Paramedic flying across the Lake District to render life saving care to a casualty... Kinda restores my faith in humanity somewhat.
A good few years ago I was surprised to see a "Ben Kenobi" was my till operater when ordering food in a pub in Newcastle (and I was going to see a SW film that night too!)
I’ve got someone who would disagree with your statement.... Has papers published in his name, likes to harp on about CNC machined today technology being expensive and inefficient.
Golden Dragon Knight That would be an interesting one. I’m going to be a downer and say “Let’s leave Airbus to build Electric Airliners” before we start doing individuals.
What people don't know. It takes EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE to be one of these "pilots". Just to jump as a legal wing suit pilot. You need to first skydive several thousand times.... I can only imagine how much these guys need. RESPECT
Imagine walking the fells and this chap flies by....you'd think someone has spiked your Kendal Mint Cake. I wonder, seeing the dried bracken whether there would be a fire risk
Look at jets in the dark and you see sparks coming out the back , that's stuff that's in the air that's sucked in , flamed and sent out the back . Don't believe gravity industries, they ain't jet engineers, they just mechano kitted hobby jets to wear .
@@pauldean8638 .... But let's believe your random uneducated A r s e and just dismiss what the company working and building on the device actually says.
@@smoketinytom my dumb arse has letters after my name in engineering , care to check it , it's public knowledge from a guilded London institution . You failed life cause you don't understand why this is a money pit going nowhere, they tested practical use for jet packs in 1967 , this runs a few mins , bells ran 7mins being hey use on the throttle and of set to run constant mid throttle it done 21 mins, here is this pack an it's what a few mins, gravity are embarrassing British engineers by calling their product ground breaking when it'd factually 5 times worse than 50 years ago . Frank whittle was a ground breaking British engineer that was years ahead of the rest , the modern jets are all owed to from his original design . I wave my flag proudly when we achieve but cuss idiot who claim to be ignorant to the fact they 5 times worse than a design half a century ago
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.
In 10 or 20 years we will look at this technology no different than we looked at a helicopter 50 years ago. Simply amazing, so many practical applications.
I know this can fly for a few minutes now, but just take a look at the wright bros. Their First flight was only 12 seconds and now the 787 can fly non-stop for 16hours. This is awesome.🥂
But that's because planes got heavier and more powerful. It isn't magic. A human is only going to be able to carry so much. So don't expect great leaps and bounds in range any time soon.
@@No1sonuk What happens when you land? Yes, the human has to carry it, and the human has to be able to manipulate it. If it carried the human, it'd be a helicopter, or at least have a seat. That defeats the entire point of this. It is absolutely carried by a human and thus limited by what a human can carry.
love this ...i dont have the vocabulary to truly express my emotions about this progress but i love where this is going...thank u all for making this possible :)
Wow you could see the joy in that mountain rescue medics face knowing they will be able to assist injured people quicker with that flash Gordon jet pack. All lives matter 🙏 ♥️ ❤️ ✨️
@Gadolini Rutherfordium What about couriers? Lots of legal firms and big Corporations use motorcycle couriers etc. In cities like London to zip contracts and other important documentation between offices which needs signing/notorising. This would be a great application for the technology. Urgent blood and organ transfer between medical facilities too? Although you'd need some innovative modding to add a refrigerated unit to carry the cargo 🤔
I am not sure if that is not the most astounding thing I have ever seen! Brave as well, I am a licensed pilot but would stay with Wings Thank You. Amazing and bloody well done!!!
@Gadolini Rutherfordium No it wouldn't. Not remotely. A drone couldn't get you treatment, and a helicopter would take probably at least 20 minutes to fly out there.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 What's the guy going to treat you with? A pocket mask and some gauze? You still have to drive out there, which would take longer than the helicopter would take to fly, and once you get there you won't be able to take any gear up because it's too heavy for the jetpack. So basically you can watch the patient cry for 20 mins until the helicopter got there or take 20 mins to haul your gear up there and actually do something for them. But maybe if they developed a drone to haul the gear up there for them. A really really big one, maybe one that could even fit 2 responders on it! Oh wait...
There is a noticeable absence of medical equipment on him so not quite sure about the 'save' bit. He seemed to say, 'Yep, hurt her leg, send in a helicopter'.

When I first saw this video it brought tears. This is a marvel of technology, absolutely amazing. The epitome of mankind and our shared dreams. Stunning.
Elliott Hall Depends. If they drunk the fuel then they’ll be able to lubricator the system with them. That’s my solution but it might nigh work. Good job U.K. pemergancy sercives!
Imagine being on a late afternoon hike on these trails and seeing a man casually flying past you in some high tech gear. Lmao Idk how I would react tbh
When your child's dreams come true :) Can't believe I'm living at this age of humanity. I wish be here in 100 years from now (will be so amazing). Tears here dudes... damn.
but you can still fall off a cliff, it thrusts against the ground for its uplift. hopefully in the future we can get a anti gravity suit that has no such limitations.
Who is stopping you to fly? I fly paragliders, it's pretty much like this. You take a 15 kg backpack to a hill and then you take off. It's several times safer too, with propper training.
I appreciate the wild enthusiasm. Most Mountain rescue organisations are charities. So I do wonder about the costs involved from equipment and obviously training. I have only ever see this work in exceptionally good weather. A lot of rescues occur in bad weather. Excited yes, is it practical I wonder. How long to suit up, prep, launch, recovery and the back up plan when it all goes wrong.
@Gary Gavin True, it wouldn't be practical in every situation but as a tool to get to an injured patient faster and triage/prep for when the full team gets there later I think it would be a welcome addition.
Britain is a country of microclimates. The time this takes to get ready and in the air is an order of magnitude faster than a helicopter, meaning the rescue teams are no longer at the mercy of rapidly changing weather. As soon as it's clear they can get to the patient in single-digit minutes, rather than double-digit minutes or worse.

@@Teng376 Well in its intended use it does compete pretty well, the point of it is rapid response and does that exceedingly well. What would of been a 30 minute walk up the hills to get to an injured and potentially dying person now takes about 2 minutes with this thing.
@@WhatIsLove170 That is true. However, there are also other personal, compact aircraft like the JB11 JetPack and Flyboard Air. Those are allegedly much easier to operate (less training required) making them more suitable for these sort of applications
@@WhatIsLove170 it doesn't...let it go..it's cool to look at but that's about it..
@@WhatIsLove170 While I agree with this example, the situation in which there's a person injured so badly that it won't make it another few minutes for the medical helicopter to come, yet at the same time can be saved by a medic with hardly any equipment is such a rare occurrence, that it won't justify buying enough of those suits so that they can cover the entire country such that response time can be short enough to make it viable at all (remember they have enough fuel for roughly 10 minutes).
Meanwhile a good FPV drone costs $1000, is risk free for the operator, can be stored in a car or even in a rescuer's backpack, can have thermal cameras installed, can fly for longer and can locate an injured person and call in a medical helicopter just as well if not better than the person in suit. They can even be automated and sent in swarms to scan a big area very quickly. For the price of one suit you could supply dozens of these devices to the rescuers.
This is a remarkably emotional video. This is truly the precipice of our ability to personally adorn wings, allowing us to individually fly
And it actually goes some way to restoring faith in humanity, because at the same time the Royal Navy are testing this technology for combat operations, it is being utilised in the civilian world to deliver life saving care to unfortunate souls who find themselves injured and/or ill in remote, inhospitable locations where they could decline rapidly and never even make it to hospital.
People are keen to simply concentrate on all the negatives about Britain (be them legitimate or otherwise) but this fills me with pride.
"adorn" means to decorate. "adorn wings" makes no sense. Please consult a thesaurus if you want to use big words. Thanks.

@@НиколайХанзо Yes and no... To this day, there is no imaging system that has the amount of recognition as the brain and human eye combo. Sure, you can have someone sat on the other side of a monitor watching through a camera but its just not the same as having your own human eyeballs to look around with in real-time. Also, humans are naturally able to recognise things that seem out of place. I mean, you can teach a drone to spot a body shape from the air but what if the patient crawled under a plastic sheet to keep dry? A drone would fly over and not recognise it. A human specifically looking for someone would see the body shape under the plastic and investigate. Even if its monitored by a human, the drone has to get pretty close to what its looking at to see with the kind of detail the human eye can see with.
Personally, I'd prefer a human looking for me. Sure, drones can help and they should most definitely be used. But you can't beat "boots on the ground".

But that's because planes got heavier and more powerful. It isn't magic. A human is only going to be able to carry so much. So don't expect great leaps and bounds in range any time soon.

@@Desrtfox71 The human doesn't have to carry it. IT carries the human...
@@No1sonuk What happens when you land? Yes, the human has to carry it, and the human has to be able to manipulate it. If it carried the human, it'd be a helicopter, or at least have a seat.

What about couriers? Lots of legal firms and big Corporations use motorcycle couriers etc. In cities like London to zip contracts and other important documentation between offices which needs signing/notorising. This would be a great application for the technology.

@Gadolini Rutherfordium No it wouldn't. Not remotely. A drone couldn't get you treatment, and a helicopter would take probably at least 20 minutes to fly out there.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 What's the guy going to treat you with? A pocket mask and some gauze? You still have to drive out there, which would take longer than the helicopter would take to fly, and once you get there you won't be able to take any gear up because it's too heavy for the jetpack. So basically you can watch the patient cry for 20 mins until the helicopter got there or take 20 mins to haul your gear up there and actually do something for them.
But maybe if they developed a drone to haul the gear up there for them. A really really big one, maybe one that could even fit 2 responders on it! Oh wait...

I appreciate the wild enthusiasm. Most Mountain rescue organisations are charities. So I do wonder about the costs involved from equipment and obviously training. I have only ever see this work in exceptionally good weather. A lot of rescues occur in bad weather. Excited yes, is it practical I wonder. How long to suit up, prep, launch, recovery and the back up plan when it all goes wrong.
A very pragmatic comment. I like it.
@Gary Gavin True, it wouldn't be practical in every situation but as a tool to get to an injured patient faster and triage/prep for when the full team gets there later I think it would be a welcome addition.
Britain is a country of microclimates. The time this takes to get ready and in the air is an order of magnitude faster than a helicopter, meaning the rescue teams are no longer at the mercy of rapidly changing weather. As soon as it's clear they can get to the patient in single-digit minutes, rather than double-digit minutes or worse.
