A pioneering British jet suit company is giving superhuman powers to search-and-rescue crew members in northern England.

Jamie Walsh, a Great North Air Ambulance paramedic, is the first of three trainees to fly the Gravity Industries Jet Suit in the steep hills of the Lake District, after just six lessons.

Jet Suit inventor and developer Richard Browning flew a test route up Helvellyn mountain, completing a 750-meter climb over a 2-kilometer distance in around 3 minutes, 40 seconds.
