Abstract
In an illustrative embodiment, systems and apparatus for limiting acceleration of medical equipment dropped to a location of an emergency medical event include one or more protection elements for protecting the medical equipment against impact forces that may damage the equipment. The protection elements may include one or more elements configured to reduce acceleration of the medical equipment while dropping to the location. The protection elements may include one or more elements configured to absorb impact forces to reduce the forces realized by the medical equipment. The medical equipment may be dropped to the location by an unmanned aerial vehicle.
