A mountain ambulance service in England is testing an “Iron Man” jest suit to make it easier and faster for its paramedics to reach walkers in distress. <br /> <br />The Great North Air Ambulance Service teamed up with jet suit makers Gravity Industries and carried out the first test flight in the vast Lake District National Park. <br /> <br />Gravity Industries’ founder and test pilot Richard Browning flew from the bottom of a valley to a simulated casualty site located on a peak. <br /> <br />While walking to the site would have taken 25 minutes, Gravity Industries says the task was completed in about 90 seconds. <br /> <br />It is hoped the collaboration will lead to the world’s first jet suit paramedic.
