Jet pack tested as Dartmoor search and rescue method
A jet pack could dramatically cut response times for moorland rescues.
The jet suit enabled a casualty to be reached within "70 seconds", in an exercise on Dartmoor.
Robbie Taylor from North Dartmoor Search and Rescue said the kit could give a "real advantage" in search and rescue operations.
However it costs about £300,000, which is out of reach for the Dartmoor team which rescues an average of 40 to 50 people a year.
