Soldiers don't have the luxury of deciding the best place to get wounded. It could happen in the midst of a firefight in a dense city or out in the middle of the desert. Combat medics might need to get to a mountain valley or plunge into the ocean. But wherever they are going, they always need to get there fast. That's why pararescumen, or PJs, take the most direct route: straight down from the sky.
