Here's a good one:
So, do you guys talk to each other in the air?
Sure, they just have no clue what the hell I'm saying. You try talking to someone in 120mph winds during the next hurricane

I like "what if your reserve doesnt work?"
me: "you have the rest of your life to get it to work"

Some of my favorites . . .
Upon seeing a big-way photo in my cubical at work the whuffos ask;
So, you skydive? (uh . . . yeah . . . once or twice.)
Which one's you? (uh . . . I'm not in the photo . . . I took it.)
Is it hard taking those pictures from an airplane? (sigh)

LOL...my mom asked me that just the other day.

Took a friend out to make a tandem a while back. While watching a HIGHLY repectable women's 4 Way team practice an exit and dirt dive, she asked me if they were going to "do tricks in the air".

I informed her that hookers turn tricks, skydivers turn points.

I heard a similar one a few months back when I was at Eloy. A very experienced 4way team were out for team training and were dirt diving when a whuffo commented 'Hey look, I think they are all going to try fall together'

Argh,...

Had to resurect this one because I just heard something really funny.

Guy at work says, "The only way I would jump out of a plane would be if it was crashing, and even then I would wait until it was really close to the ground."

Right.

That's kinda what I tell my scuba diving pals "Hey-Ya'll left more people down than we've left up"

I stole it from an Air Force/Navy argument

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Whuffo:"How many jumps ya got?"

I tell him.

Whuffo: "How many are simulated?"

?!?

[boffin 0]

was explaining the parts of the rig to a tandem (because what other kind of conversation would I have with her) and after getting to the pilot chute she asked "I thought you said you were jumping, why would you need the have a pilots chute" I just couldn't answer, just had to smile.

BAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH....wow...they just get worse and worse...

I've had the same questions as everyone else has posted already, BUT now that I work at the Colorado windtunnel part-time, that brings in a WHOLE NEW BARRAGE of stupid questions...not trying to hijack, just felt like sharing the other side of it too...

1. "So where do you jump from?" I used to just point to the doors and that results in a confused look and them asking me again...and then i just say from the top.
2. "How do you land?" -
3. "What happens if the air runs out?" - Don't worry we have a reserve tank of air in the basement.
4. "So if I do this enough times, can i become qualified to do the real thing and jump from planes" - This one just irritates me now...
5. "How do the instructors stand while the wind is on?" - We have magnetic shoes
6. One classic one happened just this past Saturday, a woman in the lobby of the tunnel asks me: "So this is indoor skydiving right?, so then does that mean we are outside right now?" (again in the lobby)
7. "Where is the parachute?"

I tried to have mercy and be understanding in the beginning....but now I just don't care...

Puttin' some stank on it.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a friend who asked if they tie you down with ropes in the wind tunnel to keep you from flying away.

>>>>>2. do most injuries occur when you hit the ground?


That's actually a fair question, as funny and obvious as it sounds. Injuries resulting from acft exits and corking are ones that would be the exception. Not to mention the Deland skydiving who was hit by the Otter and probably a few other anomolies.

Whuffo-how many jumps ya got?

i tell em
whuffo- so when can you start doing tricks?

me-what do ya mean

whuffo-ya know, like flips and barrel rolls and stuff.

The next whuffo that asks me "why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" gets a thumb in their eye.

What gets me is people who jump out of perfectly good boats.

Are they insane? What's the sense in it? They might drown.

LOLOLAROFAPMP for all these others - but yeah, so sick & tired of hearin whuffo's 'perfectly good airplane' crap. -

Guess I do have 1 'ex'-whuffo tale; threw my mom out of a plane for her 60th (told her on the way to lunch I had to 'pick up something at the airport') - on her video she had her hands clenched up in fists. Me, "Why'd you clench your fists, were ya skeered?!". Her, "No, I didn't want to lose my diamond rings!". She calls herself a skydiver (with 1 tandem), and I call her an ex-whuffo.

But I have this big steel tank full of compressed air to breathe! What could possibly go wrong??
