Thread: Trivia and other useless but interesting items

Paramedics in England's remote Lake District region have been testing a jet suit that gets them to people in danger or distress in a fraction of the time it would take to travel by car or on foot.

The trivia just may be the paramedic might be in need of a paramedic them selves I would guess. I'd bet many of us would love a jet pack like this but also bet a few of us would crash

I did find a pic paramedic guise of it not in which might make the pilot a Darwin Award candidate - Firearm mounted with the hearing loss assured. The flash suppressor would likely remove his beard as well

One wonders if it has TURBO BOOST out of his arse for when he/she needs a two person lift & the chopper is not available


Just sayin'.

Hang on, that's an unusual-looking sheep
