Helicopter paramedics in Britain have been trained to conduct mountain or sea rescues using Iron Man-style jet suits, even in strong wind and rain conditions. Developed by Gravity Industries, the jet suit is equipped with two micro-jet engines in each arm and three in a backpack, allowing rescuers to reach speeds of over 136kph (85mph) at over 3,650 metres (12,000ft).

Some mountain rescues are delayed by dangerous flying conditions for a helicopter so this will make such a lifesaving difference.
More likely to do their selves an injury
@@guff9567 That's why you train to prevent that from happening
@@TomGodson95 There is absolutely NO training that can stop serious injury when these things fail 3m-50m above ground level. And when their arms are locked in that daft position, how are they gonna pull the reserve cord?
@@guff9567 do you even watch? They hardly fly 2m
@@guff9567 that's literally the same for every machinery,same as helicopter it also can have a failure
just imagine having a broken leg of something, calling for help and a few paramedics come flying. i'd just asume im dead at that point
Lol
"Hang on, Medics are airborne and will drop at your location in a few minutes"
"HEROES NEVER DIE!"
@@BirdRaiserE you beat me to it
And then they have to go back to get the helicopter because they can’t carry you. Then you have to wait for the weather to maybe clear anyway
Imagine being stranded in a random hill then you see a guy flying mid-air Aposing
Takes Jesus is coming to a whole new meaning 😂
A-posing, but I get your point lol
M-posing, like in a sense
Q posing in some facet
And then burning you to death from the heat of his jetpack!
Jokes, aside this is truly amazing.
Im still so amazed on how far our technology has come seriously
Yeah have you seen the hover bikes!?!?
Dont under estimate human beings brain. It is scary also.
chub be
add some armor, paint it red and snap your fingers.
@@pepelepew1227 wait a minute..
Wouldn't you need those rgb rocks
"Oh no! I fell and broke my legs, who could possibly save me so far up the mountains??"
*Ride of the Valkyries starts playing while a troop of jetpacked paramedics rises against the sunset*
Amazing, this is the cyberpunk future that I always wished for.
0:50 I love the little drone following them like a pet.
That is kind of cute lol. Feels like a videogame pet.
Terraria moment
Expectations: this will allow people to be rescued faster
Reality: *jetpack joyride theme starts playing*
Hey the company responsible for making this is also looking into recreation and racing as well. In fact, that will probably be the most common usage.
YASSSSSSSS CAMBODIA 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
#ASEAN Southeast Asia 🇻🇳🇱🇦🇰🇭🇹🇭🇲🇲🇲🇾🇸🇬🇮🇩🇵🇭
When I was the video thumbnail I knew there had to be a jetpack joyride reference lol
that's a job for the military. put actual guns under it
@@grisom5863 I'd pay to watch Jetpack Races
Imagine just waking up and getting your senses back from a injury that caused you to pass out and seeing people descending towards you from the sky.
Imagine a few humans having this technology back in the middle ages!
They would've been worshipped as gods!
😂😹
Use this against Sentinelese indigenous people
They would be met with arrows
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or burned as witches
Until you realize that there are no electricity or refined fossil fuels available in the middle ages
Being able to fly like that will be heavenly and entrancing, pretty close to flying like birds
seeing two men gliding across the mountain accompanied with a drone in the middle feels like sci-fi, still.
cant believe thats a thing right now.
“Jet suit paramedic” is probably one of the coolest titles you could ever have.
This will definitely convince more people to sign up to become paramedics! Lol.
They need a lot of strength to handle that, certainly not for everyone, specially women.
@@HeavenlyWarrior you need alot of strength already to be a paramedic, they gotta lift people up all the time
i just want to thank all the ladies and gentlemen who made jetpacks a reality in my life time. :)
Excuse me? Last I saw a jet pack it was massive and impractical! This is amazing!
These days I feel like too much news about war, disasters, and a lot of casualties.
This is a fresh air for me ❤️
i'm afraid this will become weapon too
@@clingclingwawaw that's scary, but yeah not impossible
@@YElle-fd6kj yes, its impossible. Theres no feasible use for these in any kind of non-sport combat. They're clunky expensive hard to fly unarmored and super loud. However they would make a great bloodsport, jetpack brawling where you get your opponents to crash.
@@JimboJuice i mean It could be useful for special forces imagine raiding an insurgent hideout at night with these things
@@ranbojd1070 no, never, wont happen. We have grappling hooks, and you can actually wear a bulletproof vest if you just climb. Also, so loud and takes time to heat up, They would hear you a full 2 minutes before you even start ascending. Stilts would be far more tactical than these considering at least you can shoot a few bullets before falling over.
The paramedics will need paramedics.
Haha possibly but not if they have enough training that they don’t mess up
Guess it's time to become a paramedic
Bros really turned creative mode into a real thing
It's crazy , the best British🇬🇧
“Rockets in the sky! Up and over. Got a clear view sir!”
I guess my expectations were almost kinda correct… i rlly hope that they would use this in medical/rescue operations.
imma quitting my job and pursuing my dream job, mountain paramedic
The future way to save lives!
As long as they're only a couple feet off the ground it doesn't look obscenely dangerous
On the contrary, they are equipped with a parachute, which will only really work if there's a malfunction high in the sky
Imagine falling from a motorbike at 130 km/h, it's also only a few feet off the ground.
much needed in my country for rescue operations
Not for sale, classified technology
Man who remembering his wild imagination when flying with jetpack in GTA San Andreas be like : My time has come
Now this is what they call "Entering with style"
wow, I never thought I'd see the day when we could fly without planes or helicopters.
That thing exists since the 60's in the form of a jetpack... There's nothing new about this only more perfected.
@@HeavenlyWarrior I mean it still looks absolutely cool ,like ur flying sir/miss
@@have_a_cup_of_water_08 The ones from the 60's were also made for a person to fly by themselves but it was dangerous.
They evolved the technology in a way it looks better controlled now and you fly by using the arms which puts a lot of strength in the arms. Normal people couldn't do it. Women couldn't do that unless they were very muscular.
Hot air balloons were invented before those too. But yeah this is awesome and more.....personal.
@@HeavenlyWarrior still cool tho
This will definitely help to save lives way faster.
It is useless, except in very rare cases to help someone lost, it is a silly expense if there are victims. Since you need to do the job twice, you will need an ambulance or a helicopter to save the life of the victim... Except in very specific cases it is useless, it is like sending a doctor by taxi in a city, it is useless since you need an ambulance, the job is doubled.
I can see it being pretty useful for mountain rescue. Planes are next to impossible and you can only so high with helicopters.
That looks surreal, almost unreal. Kind of silly looking too, but it’ll be uber useful
Yeah it looks little Goofy, but it will really be useful in some cases LOL 😂
@@SillyDwarf__ Yeah it will be great when they fly right up to you with sports car levels of noise to tell you "don't panic, help is coming"
Imagine being severely injured then you start seeing double or hallucinating & you see these guys flying towards you you'll actually think you died for real
years ago, I remember that I can conjure this jetpack out of thin air by pressing some buttons on my PS2 controller.
this is really cool....it is like the first scene in iron man when tony tries to fly for the first time
glad to see that they finally found it's real world application.
'The future is now, old man.'
Imagine your rescuer crashes next to you.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
I EAT CATS
Ok get on your knees and pray for me
Oh stop spamming cringe generic replies to try get subscribers. 🙄🙄
Too late bro the day has been passed here
You will never hear about this technology ever again 👍
Imagine being stranded in the wilderness, literally on your last legs, and some Brit with a jetpack shows up like “Oi that’s a proper injury ya got there innit?”
Have you noticed that not once did they mention how long the jet pack could stay airborne?
Probably only a few minutes. It looks like they plan on it being a one-way trip and then they get picked up together with the patient.
They can stay airborne for ≥3 minutes it seems
should add exoskeleton to less the stress on arms
I was thinking that. Wouldn't want an arm cramp.
Bruh Imagine just calling 911/112 and a whole squad of these mf’s pull-up to help.
Well actually mate it's 999 in Britain 🇬🇧.
@@maxmoore9955 who tf asked?💀💀
Bro what you do when you gotta scratch your face 💀
I remember these guys from Command and Conquer. Flak turrets were killing them like flies.
Yup. Hang time is a bad thing.
The best critical care equipment I ever seen, would be helpful to reduce burnout I think
jetpack joyride will be real in 5 seconds
We are one step away from achieving Jetpack Joyride
Now this is actually a clever idea for the jetpacks.
Would like to see a total response time. Get the call, get the gear on, get to the point to use the jetpack, get up the mountain and remove gear from hands to actually help
Chinese paramedics: still using rickshaw!!!!!
Oh that’s cruel.
With all this lifesaving equipment we just must make sure our lives are WORTH SAVING not just wasting on gadgets and other nonsense.
Right!! Because humans have become the major determinant to the planet 😔
Bless these brave humans.
If I'm dying and I see 2 flying human shaped figure coming towards you, pretty sure I'd probably be thinking I'm definitely dead.
One step further to preparing for those titans.
Finally Rocketeer is here!!! 😁😁❤️❤️
Tundra untouched by this? Even if not, very cool for saving someone’s life.
I would fly in like an angel descending from the heavens and land on one foot with such grace that mere mortals watch in awe as they take in what they had transpired. SAVIOR! one peasant shouts. Goddess, another mutter, and one of the critically wounded thought he was already dead and saw himself standing at the gates of heaven as he prayed.
To me, this was just a Tuesday at work.
Get a parachute for each of them will help them in the rescue.
This is not like iron man but the fact is it more look like rocketeer.😂😂😂
No one is talking about the fact that the paramedics could also have a drone acting as a paramedic bed for carrying patients too?
Buying one of these so I can evade traffic and get to work faster
Me and the boys in creative mode:
We live in the literal future people. Everyone who came before us only got to imagine this stuff. we got to see it as magic in books to reality in our life times.
Best invention
finally got jetpacks. now we just need flying cars
I think there’s a video of a company testing it out. Check on TH-cam (I think it was Dubai)
Leonard Nimoy did this in a Star Trek movie long before Ironman. Looks like fun, I want one.
waiting for the civilian model. the fail videos are gonna be amazing
There is a civilian model. Those hydro water this that look like this work the same way
You are never buying this in a shop , i doubt you can even find out what the internals of this thing is ....can't have that tech falling into the wrong hands
rediculous times we live in, great but to older people like me, it is mind blowing
The problem with jet packs in the past was usage time. I wonder how long these can be used.
But they can have a pack in the back of the ambo and then if needed, one can grab and go. If it's too far away then obviously other means need to be utilised
@@ic.xc. Can I assume you mean, "I don't think these new jet packs have a greatly improved usage time, but they're still a lifesaving tool to keep in the back of ambulances for organized rescue operations." ?
I just thought they greatly improved the usage time.
bro literally typed "Rocketman" cheat code
Imagine paratroopers now just astonished
i was more amazed by the BGM at the end of the news. Amazing !!
Me and the boys bout to go into creative mode IRL
European are very intelligent people
Jetpacking:
A horse with no name starts playing
Well boys, we're officially in the future.
*Insert Jetpack Joyride theme.*
Some command conquer type tech i love it
They should also make something similar to a gurney with this technology, that way the paramedics can just fly to an injured person put them on the gurney and just fly themselves and the injured person back
The only way the jetpack works is that the user stabilizes the flight using their arms. Only way a jet gurney would work is if there were some gimbals controlling the jet, but even then it'd be tough for the rescuer to control their jetpack and the gurney.
Or how about drones with gurney that will follow the paramedics automatically? The possibilities are endless.
This is better than floating cars.
Combine this with those flying squirrel flight suits.
Dude is rocking the M pose with that music
My Bro just turned on the creative mode
Quicker rescue operations? takes 20 min to put it on, then another 20 min to take it off. xD
Well you have better idea? 😏
Still better then hours walking uphill
It takes 30 Mins to ready a helicopter and about 5 Minutes to take off
Bad weather conditions can outright make the helicopter operations impossible
@@dulguunjargal1199
How bad? I don't know.
Ask the NBA.
@@dulguunjargal1199 ok but helicopters also let you have a lot of visibility on difficult terrain
could you look for stranded injured people while youre flying this?
CJ is that you!
I can see the application, helicopters are about twice as fast but require time to land and cleared leveled path, a combo of jetpack and helicopter could make the rescue faster by dropping them off close to the area and fly away
Bros are in Creativa mode
The company is called Gravity if anyone is wondering
This has a long way to go
Glad to know, that they've finally decided to make a GTA live action
Richard Browning is going to make so much money for inventing this jetpack.
imagine going down to mountain with high speed
I expected a rescue team to carry people, but looking at this application it seems only for surveillance and first responders rather than evacuation
They can use the jet packs to blow the flies off the victims wounds
The important part is reaching the patient quickly to stabilise them. If you can do that, their survival chances skyrocket.
Sadly the tech isn't quite there for retrieval yet, but probably will be in time.
"Mountain hikers hate them! Discover how to reach the top with this one simple device"
Don’t lie. You were all fantasying what song you would play if you ever got to fly one of these.
Mine is the theme song from Iron Man Armored Adventures.
Rockets in the sky.
All fired up!
Check out the view!
I can go anywhere!
Got a clear view sir.
Ready to soar!
Fuel tanks are filled.
This just makes me think of the jetpack police from Minority Report.
Soldiers gonna use this in the upcoming Advanced Warfare
