Helicopter paramedics in Britain have been trained to conduct mountain or sea rescues using Iron Man-style jet suits, even in strong wind and rain conditions. Developed by Gravity Industries, the jet suit is equipped with two micro-jet engines in each arm and three in a backpack, allowing rescuers to reach speeds of over 136kph (85mph) at over 3,650 metres (12,000ft).
