Flying paramedics

GNAAS is interested in the jet suit because it can ...

• be more easily seen by injured walkers

• improve the effectiveness of medical treatment

• lift heavy medical equipment to the scene

• reach otherwise inaccessible areas

What happened in the UK's Lake District?

• the filming of the latest spy action film

• the end of helicopter use in the region

• the rescue of a series of injured walkers

• the successful trial of a new flying vehicle

The Lake District was chosen as the test site ...

• despite its inaccessibility

• due to its lack of visitors

• despite its harsh weather

• due to its challenging terrain

The pilot of the jet suit flew to the top of a valley ...

• to recover a casualty

• in a race against a hiking paramedic

• to deliver treatment to a patient

• in a simulation of an emergency

What does Andy Mawson think about the suit?

• More people will benefit from lifesaving treatment.

• Flying one is like playing a video game.

• There's no reason for paramedics to use them.

• The technology needs to be developed further.
