Paramedics in jet suits flying to the rescue may soon become a reality for those in Britain.
A UK-based company has recently teamed with a paramedic service, to test out its jet suit in a simulated rescue situation.
The company is planning on using the suits in emergency search and rescue operations in remote mountainous areas, where quick response is difficult, due to rocky terrain and heavy medical equipment.
"First flight in Cumbria for a jet suit that's going to save lives and ease suffering, so, an incredible moment. A truly, truly incredible moment."
The suits can drastically reduce response time.
Miniature jet engines are mounted on the pilot's arms and back, enabling the pilot to cut a 25-minute climb to just 90 seconds.
The company is currently aiming to make the suits cheaper, and easier to use.
