Rescue Water-Jet Pack
Inspired by the JetLev Flyer (pictured with operator), a flying machine that uses high-pressure water columns to generate thrust, the Rescue Pack is a comparatively lighter but equally maneuverable flyer designed for water rescues inaccessible by lifeboat. Using high-pressure water generated by the pump, the user navigates the flyer via foot controls, freeing the arms for rescue maneuvers.
Designer: Jurmol Yao

Having high pressure stream of water near a place where something went wrong and you need to help someone is just brilliant idea!
Useful probably only if someone is hanging on a cliff close to water or above it.
Taking something fun (water-powered jet-pack) and attaching to it some good purpose (rescue) just doesn’t always work if you want my opinion.

Dont know about using that stuff for rescue. firstly doesnt seem as if it could store lots of water. but it might be a heck of a water sport

Admit it… Designer just played too much Mario Sunshine

It might seem a bit ludicrous, but he has good intentions. And as far as flight goes, I would love a jetpack like this.

Read description: “…for water rescues inaccessible by lifeboat.” What this? Only such situation, if the storm, wind and great waves around. If this jetpack could fly through such weather – it will be a great thing.
