This seems like it might have possibilities, perhaps with a bit more refinement, but pretty cool anyway....

Yes playing Batman is certainly a young man's game....but it does have a harness, although it occurs to me that might not be comfortable at all....I wonder if it could be used in a pinch to rescue people from balconies in burning buildings...?

I'd trust an actual fire escape before trusting a grappling hook attaching to some unknown edge.

Seems good, but I'm almost looking forward to getting stuck up a hill over here.

Your Invoice...

Jet-Pak paramedic visit = $20,000.00

Helicopter rescue = $40,000.00

I hate to think how loud those thrusters are. Did you notice the music started as soon as the thrusters started.

Jetpack Medic could fry his own rescuee. It's all a bit madcap, especially with the flying time. Jeff Bezos could mint it on this with some adapted drones. (If reading, Jeff, 1% for the idea will do me fine. Medical aid dropping claw....)
