Quote"I heard your skin peels off when your falling"
Just imagine what this could do for the beauty industry!
"I went today for a facial peel, exited at 13 grand, just fell belly to earth till 3000, pulled. Had a good landing, then applied a mask with cucumber juice, and an avacado lotion. Doesnt my skin look beautiful and smooth? Gives your cheeks that rosy glow too!"
i think i have had some skin peel off on those real cold winter jumps
Wuffo: I think its crazy to jump out of an airplane with a parachute
His awesome kid (6 years old): I think it is crazier to jump out of an airplane without a parachute.
Me: [Speechless]

You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...

Someone sure brought this thread back from the dead!
Wuffo comments don't really bother me unless they are both ignorant and judgmental. If you're going to talk smack about an activity and those involved, you should at least be educated before making said comments.
The one thing I feel obligated to respond to is wuffo's tendency to fear the equipment - mostly due to the "chute didn't open" stories that seem to be so popular. I make sure to explain that the equipment is the least common point of failure.

When a Wuffo asks me how many jumps I have I get total disbelief from them when I answer.
...they tend to think it's ALL B.S. when I tell 'em there are people in the sport 1/4 as long as me with 3 times my jump numbers!

Maybe it's time to broaden the definition. If a non-skydiver is a Wuffo, a non skydiver who's snotty about it is a What-the-F**cker.

Those on the outside looking in can easily criticize and demean skydiving because, in my opinion, they lack understanding. It is easier (and more macho) to put something down vice saying you are afraid or don't understand. No one wants to seem ignorant, but to make nonsensical and negative comments about something you have no idea about only shows a greater ignorance.
So whenever whuffos say something stupid like me having a death wish, being suicidal or tempting God.....I usually respond with a simple....."I don't see it that way." and put an end to it.
But in all honesty, most (90%) of the whuffos who learn that I skydive show a genuine interset and excitemenet.......it's just the other 10%......as usual.
See you all around.......
