Why Fly

Let’s spend a little time flying around the Lake Country in western England. Literally.

This jet suit is a tool developed for paramedic teams there, and if the simulation that starts the video doesn’t hook you, the scenery probably will.

As you watch this, try and note the different people who appear. What are their roles?

Thinking about the people in the video, how would you describe why that person appears as part of the story?

This story could have been told in 30 seconds, but the video lasts almost six minutes. Why did the people designing the video make that choice? Would you have made the same choice?

Finally, if you had the opportunity, would you try one of these jet suits?
