Kvaefjord Red Cross 🇳🇴 MedEx

45 seconds from deployment the Paramedic with a Jet Suit demonstrates just how much faster they can locate and attend to casualties in tough terrain. Ascent by foot was between 15-20 mins and the priority with critical care cases is rapid attendance, buying more time for later evacuation.
This is the latest in paramedic response exercises conducted by Gravity using the Jet Suit, in this case in collaboration with the Norwegian Red Cross in the remote north of Norway.

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…”

You have to be pretty strong to hold your body upright like that, no average person would be utilising equipment like this. Training Is definitely needed.

[@ciaranocallaghan5113]

I would certainly not describe myself as an athlete, this equipment is perfectly usable for an average person. I've used it myself. Once you get used to it you're turning and controlling the thrust vectors by instinct. Holding the arm mounted jets out is no harder than leaning on a table. In fact Richard uses leaning on the edge of a table as an analogy to what you should do when with the arm mounted jets as its such a similar concept.

I’m gonna have to hard pass on anything electric. All this electric crap is just an agenda being pushed anyway.

What's the height limit for these? Can they be used to fly over heavily forested areas or do you need to be relatively close to a more cohesive surface like rock or water?

[@SouthPeter98]

As long as the air density is good enough this works, they've mentioned they fly low due to safety as the pilot can easily fall. Now I doubt this would work well in the Himalayas of course

[@HYDROCARBON_XD]

I would say more than 25 meters before it is a bit dangerous,they do it low to test the safety,I’ve seen some videos where they probably fly higher than 10 meters

[@sparksmcgee6641]

Pilot safety is the reason they fly low. They have one video flying up a mountain to 3,000 ft. Higher you go the more fuel though. These are retail units. They can be beefed up for specific uses. Just takes a budget. First thing will be a private volunteer that lives in the alps or rocky mountains saving people. Less than 10 news stories of that with the go pro video and the community will vote in the budget to buy a few. Helicopter, planes and off road vehicles all started as volunteers.

From the Wiki: The unit weighs 27 kilograms (60 lb) and has a maximum flight time of 10 minutes, with a current speed record of 85 mph (137 km/h; 74 kn).[11] The flight pack can reach altitudes of 2,000 feet (610 m). Though its envisaged that in normal use, it would be flown at only three or four metres above the ground.

[@TheRyderShotgunn]

ignore the other guy. as for the question, probably not. i remember hearing that there's a limit to how high you can fly with the jet suit, so jumping from a plane would probably have them just drop like a rock until a certain height, which probably wont be high enough, when the jets can actually start fighting gravity again. also, taking off from a moving boat isnt quit the same as jumping from a plane. for one, the plane almost is definitely faster, and on a boat they can feel the wind and anticipate it during takeoff whereas on a plane its from next to nothing to freefall and strong wind that said, tho, i remember there was some jet-power wings you can strap to your back that people have jumped out of planes with before. i think. wings can help with this sort of thing, but the jet suit here doesnt have wings so it cant really do that

[@sparksmcgee6641]
