Think of it as a parachute to not get down, but to get up, or across an obstacle.
Sorry Skybird, I see limited use(militarily) if any for the jump suit. We have ropes for getting up and over. The suit is bulky. Probably not easy to suit up( like suiting up with a 200 pound diving bell/suit). Not easily stowed. Does not carry weapons. Does not protect the flier. Useless for say sea rescue when there is a storm(high wind/waves). Unless this develops in to a Mechwarrior with jet packs I don't see much use for it.
