METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SAVING PEOPLE FALLING FROM HEIGHT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A62B1/00 

FIELD: rescue equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to rescue technique and can be used to create devices for saving people falling from tall objects, for example, for rescuing people from fire. The method of saving people from falling from height, when using a jet device the falling speed is reduced, and the device is put on the back, is fixed regarding the human body, an inflatable stabilising balloon is inflated, and the falling body is positioned, the distance to the Earth is calculated, and when the height of brakeage is reached the traction is created with a jet engine, directed against the falling velocity vector, and the jet engine is operated depending on the falling velocity and the distance to the Earth. The device comprises a suspension system consisting of a circular strap of two parts and connected with a clamp. The suspension system is attached to a plate, on which the jet engine is attached, and the engine is equipped with an initiation mechanism connected to the on-board computer, and at the top part of the engine there is a compartment with the stabilising balloon and reservoir with compressed air and a valve connected with the stabilising balloon. The device includes a sensor of height connected to the on-board computer.

EFFECT: reduction of size, as a consequence reduction of weight, as well as simplicity and reliability of operation.
