A real application for jetpacks

Post by ex-khobar Andy »

This is impressive. Paramedics can reach an injured hill walker in minutes. This man, as far as I know, is a trained jet pack pilot demonstrating the applicability of the technology.

That is interesting. Wonder how easy those are to steer so they would also be useful in heavier forests.

Drones would be a better choice.

Why risk a human pilot when it really isn't necessary?

Isn't the point of the jetpack transport to have the EMT provide crucial medical services which should provide the injured person a better chance to survive until the rescue team arrives?

You're right Long Run, I suppose I'm suffering from the crappy air we have to endure in the SF Bay Area as of late.
