Thread: Jet Pack Paramedic

  1. #1

    Default Jet Pack Paramedic

    Experiments are being carried out to see whether a paramedic can use a personal jet pack to reach a casualty more quickly in places where a helicopter cannot land, like on a seep hillside. The paramedic would be able to carry a defibrillator and an emergency medical bag strapped to his or her body.

    Not as obvious as dropping into a S.P.E.C.T.R.E. underground lair and shooting everyone inside.

    Military or security applications of the jet pack are limited by the facts that it is very noisy, both hands are needed to fly it and so would not be free to fire a weapon and the current system can only support a limited amount of equipment in addition to he pilot (it is not powerful enough to support 2 people).

    Strap a big ol' tank of volatile hypergolics to your back, what could possibly go wrong?

    We've had the "rocket man" operating this from a few RN ships over the last year or so. Definitely some military as well as SAR applications here as long as one doesn't get too carried away. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops.
