 A British aeronautical company is helping first responders get to difficult locations in record time. A video posted recently by Gravity Industries showed a paramedic was able to scale a mountain in under four minutes using one of their jetpacks. "We can get a trained professional very quickly to the site of a casualty in very difficult weather or very difficult physical terrain in a way that often [rescuers] on foot, or a vehicle or a helicopter can't do," said Richard Browning, founder and chief test pilot at Gravity Industries. Gravity Industries plans to test the suits in a variety of other rescue scenarios.
