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 Ben@drone-filming.com on drone, Langdale Mountain Rescue Team, Stool End Farm, Cumbria Police and an amazing community that made this possible.

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!!!
Mobile devices already did that at least a decade ago. The next big one is probably force fields.
It is crazy!
the future really is now, its gonna be cool to see all the improvements in every work field
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.
Agreed
If i was in emergency up in a mountain like that and the rescuer uses that, i won't be injured anymore to try that jetpack.
For real I could have two broke femurs and stand my ass up to fly that thing
😁😁
Me too
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.
You need to let some ladies have a crack at it.
Could you imagine being out hiking then you hear some jet engines coming and then see this flying at you!? Lmao so crazy, I love it
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!
the effect of having someone by your side in such a short time frame makes all the difference when every second counts.
I can imagine someone watching this video 120 years from now and saying “wow that thing is primitive”
@@canon6 nah tik-tok trash also no teleporters or futuristic stuff probably very advanced robots that can fly and do tricks nothing more
It is now
Lol yeah they may have nuclear powerded one or solar powered
I can understand that since this stuff only allows you to hover several feet from any surface, not actually fly like ironman.
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.
If I was mangled on a mountain and a fella come flying up to me on a jet pack, I’d be convinced I was about to die and my body just released its DMT.
Then calling a helicopter afterwards lol
Lmfao 😂😂😂
Nature of the U.K. looks wonderful
Getting medical bill in America Jet pack rescue: 260,000,000$
Just let me die

Pretty much 😂
😂😂
thats exactly whats going to happen. Your health system is ridiculously expensive... I live in a "3rd" world country by your standards and we all have good free medical care cause guess what? we pay taxes.
the one weekend it wasn't raining in the UK :)
Just saw your video. Didn't expect to see you here lol
😂
Never happen. CGI
dang it, where is that lmao emote when I need it.
everyone and always complaining about weather, but here, in Scotland is all good, normal for May/June and have to water my organic garden again.....

This technology is old people have been flying on jetpacks since the 60s
@@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
they will call you either a god or witch. then u will either get your free religion or execution. they will start writing some books for you.
Imagine you fell off of a cliff, hit your head really hard and are saying to yourself "Just stay awake, focus on familiar things.. Okay the sky is blue, that's a cloud, the grass is waving in the wind... Oh! There's help!! Wait...Umm, no the paramedic is literally flying in the air". "Well s*** I'm definitely dead already"
As a landscaper...... This is the coolest backpack blower ever!! Can't wait now for fall with this on my back!!
not happening soon lol
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 🙏 ♥️ ❤️ ✨️
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.
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
They can just use a drone to recon
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.
This would be more believable if the jets were on his back and not his arms. Who could support their weight like that? HeeeMan?
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
The seller wants an excuse to sell one, the buyer just wants an excuse to have one, and I can't blame either of them.
Supply and demand 😉👍👍🇺🇸
If they can keep improving the efficiency and stuff it can be used to get to places not as easily accessible by even helicopters and such quickly, so the pilot can at least support the victim until hiking crews can get to them. But for now it's mostly in the early stages of proof of concept and wow factor I guess.
Told you who?
Blz Ahz all of these jet pack systems need to be heavily restricted or nature be gone and future society a nightmare

Oh, and call the fire department, we lit the mountainside on fire with the jetpack while we tended to the girl.
I love you so MUCH! Maybe they should land further away! But it didn't seem to bother HIS ears! 🙏🙌
Great to see this kind of technology used for good. Also, looks like a great way to get around the fells 😃
There were spectators of the Wright Brothers with my enthusiasm and optimism. This is great.

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
get real the Nepalese government would never buy this. $340,000 pounds British for this for one
nepal is fine, but the air is too thin for Himalayan rescue
Unfortunately the air may be too thin for the jets to be efficient at that altitude.
Nevermind the jet suit. What a beautiful place to hike and explore. I would bring my tent and get lost there for days.
loving these jet packs, mainly because they have actual real uses! Anyone saw the bird of prey checking him out?

@Tim Hanselbach Top right hand of frame text credit.
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!)
@57secs.he took off like a death watch mandolorian.that was epic👍he saved"the child" 😂😂😂
Also noticed that. Why use a jetpack when you can just use the force...
What do you expect? It's a mountain, he gets the highground
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
plus a robot dog from boston dynamics to do the prior 2 hour heavylifting
The potential for emergency rescue is huge!
Watching this makes me feel like crying, it's amazing seeing this.
This looks like the perfect use case. Human personal flight is a reality and it is amazing.
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.
my youth dream is going to be real
If you try to do a real search and rescue with this suit, you will be the one who will be needing rescue. Flight time is only 8 minutes.
@@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.
Looking forward to the day when Aldi and Lidl are selling these in their bonus isles 🤠

Yes. Lets look forward to flying morons everywhere and sound of jet engines all around all day with no escape.. and huge increase in pollution. I mean it's cool and all, and for applications like mountain rescue the noise is tolerable, but if this gets anywhere near mass adoption I will surely vote to ban this for general and recreational use.
@@kyjo72682 boring 😴
"We're living in the future!" Your smartphone is actually more of a technological advancement than simply taking a jet engine, making it smaller and putting it on someone's back.
Absolutely incredible beyond belief.
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.
We should hope militaries start to use this. Then the technology will become more advanced and we can get these models for cheaper.

@@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 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.

I laughed way too hard at that lol

@@viola_case it was glitchy gilly’s fault I swear! (No seriously two times were from eva controls for whatever reason controls the ship too, both on gilly)
This shit almost put me into tears laughing so hard!!🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Wow! My mind has been blown. British innovation all the way, just as we innovated many things
WHAT A JOB BRO 🕊
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
The Passion in his voice leaves one lost for words.
Well done, First Responders, well done indeed... So many opportunities ahead for that style of locomotion over terrain not suited for vehicles.
Будущее наступило! Спасибо инженерам, учёным и всем участникам научных исследований и проектов!
Love this, not only the tech and how it will help people and save lives but the emotion shown by the guy interviewed at the end, his passion for what he does and had just witnessed was just beautiful. You could almost count the lives he knew this has the potential to save. 👏
“Drone Operator: Ben Kenobi”
Great grandson of Obi Wan Kenobi
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, a long long time.
Do You know him?
I saw that lol
@@izaakpilch5590 you’re kidding right?
the future truly is amazing !!
Why wasn't this around in my childhood years...I dreamt of flying like Superman soooo much.
How cool of a job would this be? I could only imagine how proud my children would be if their father got to fly around like a super hero.
@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'm more in awe of the centuries of work that have gone into building those stone walls. That's a hell of a lot of physical work at high elevation.
love this i need to have a go on one
Simply amazing!
its funny how hes using this practically and not just flying everywhere for fun like I would
That's why he's able to run an industry
Actually, there's very little practicality in this demo video.
I would go buy drugs and booze
It’s a bit limited for range, from what I’ve read it’s able to fly for only 2 mins and the thought of running out of fuel doesn’t bear thinking about.
really? sourcebout the 2min?
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
ADMIRABLE Y MODERNO RESCATE DE MONTAÑA... LES FELICITO POR LA DIVULGACIÓN DE ELLO !!
cant imagine the feeling of the air and view
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.
Seeing the medics reaction at the end..... The pure joy you could see in his face, I thought he was going to cry for sure.
This is what we should be using all these science incridibality to rescue fellow friend rather than killing eachother . Thank you man , you safe life. Long live bro to serve humanity
I love that the operator is Ben Kanobi
Seeing this, it's not unthinkable that a commercial version of this might be available next decade
A commercial version is available
@@CoolKid-qk7tl I meant an affordable one, not 400K+
@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 🤔
