Tuna-Salad 0 #1 September 8, 2008 While talking to a whuffo, how often have they said "What if your chute doesn't open?" - So I guess the general public has this idea that our equipment fails on a regular basis.Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

marcandalysse 0 #4 September 8, 2008 among other reasons thats why I dont talk about skydiving with whuffos!as for regular basis....when you say you went skydiving on saturday they assume you did ONE skydive right? when you tell them you did FOUR that day then they really look at you like you're truly insane "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure some of them figure I had only 1 tandem or something but i couldn't really care less cuz in most cases I bet my weekend was better than theirs -There was a person at the same job that had been claiming to be a BASE jumper i asked if she went skydiving at all and she said she learned in orlando then went right to BASE. She also had serveral thousand jumps with no license if I remember the story correct. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
