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!
Huge thanks to the fantastic GNAAS team, Ed Wardle on ground cam, Ben Kenobi [e-mail] on drone, Langdale Mountain Rescue Team, Stool End Farm, Cumbria Police and an amazing community that made this possible.

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…”

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.

Lol you think they’re gonna use that for the military? Right now this tech doesnt serve purpose in a combat setting other then suicidal reconning

[@eoinodoherty2617]

They can just use a drone to recon

[@paddor]

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.

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.

[@aardque]

The suit costs as much as an actual helicopter. It has no FLIR, no ambulatory capacity and no copilot/medical crew. The only thing outstanding about it would be the bugs in the operators teeth, unless he closes his mouth when he flies.

[@fandangobrandango7864]

Rick Keller this is 400,000 pound, which is cheaper than a helicopter. Helicopters also require much more maintenance which isn’t cheap, and more staff to keep it going. These jetpacks will be a standard in mountain rescue across the world in a few years time. British innovation leading the world, typical.

[@momentary_]

@@aardque It's expensive only because of the research and development costs. Once they scale production, these will cost maybe only 2-5 times the costs of labor and material, depending on how large the market.

[@aardque]

@@momentary_ You intend to "scale production" on hand held turbo jets? Going to mass market these at Walmart? Kind of like Elon Musk's flame thrower, except *even more prone* to death, critical injury and industry shuttering lawsuits. *Just* like the flamethrower, Tesla and any other cool exotic dangerous tech, you may never, ever sell enough to develop a profit margin that overcomes the sheer cost of marketing. This is why, years later, the Tesla is still struggling to offer a market entry price point. They are hampered by the monumental costs of development, marketing and legal costs. It is why a rival company will likely offer cheaper cars. Be very careful when you scale production of a deadly weapon, in order to cover production costs.

@@user-ti4bm4md5y 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".

[@WhatIsLove170]

@@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 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.

I watched the second part of the video - where he had to walk up the hill to conserve fuel - and I though "Now they need to adapt the drones to act as carriers of fuel refills. This will increase the range of the guy in the jetpack." As things stand, I imagine there will be a fair number of situations where the guy gets to the patient, helps them, and then maybe the jetpack has to be carried down if there's no airlift. This is a very good start that I believe will become fantastic with future modifications.
