I forget the name of the skydiver, one of the very early wingsuit jumpers, but he landed off in a farmers field right next to the farmer. After explaining that he had come from an aircraft, the farmer asked if the plane had caught fire. When the skydiver said that it had not caught fire, the farmer asked "Then, whuffo you jump?"

Now keep in mind that this sentence was not uttered in english, so I have no idea how it translated like this.

WOW! That thread was from before I ever knew what dz.com was. It's great reading some of those old posts. Clay always cracked me up.

You know...come to think of it, I don't think I was around until right about the time he got banned.

Reading GFD's posts are making me laugh too. Why is it that all the truly great posters are gone?

From "Birdmen, Batmen, and Skyflyers by Michael Abrams"

"On one jump, Cameron wound up landing in a farmer's field. The farmer happened to be out farming and came over to see if Cameron was all right. He asked if the plane Cameron had left had been on fire. When Cameron answered in the negative, the farmer asked (scratching his head in befuddlement, to be sure), 'Whuffo you jump?' Whuffo immediately became the word for non-skydivers, thanks partly to Cameron's powers of dissemination as editor of Sky Diver, but also because such a word was sorely needed."

I know the term wuffo has been around since before I started jumping 20 years ago. I thought "wuffo you jump outta that plane fo" was from a movie. I think maybe Fandango, but I'm not 100%.

Don't know for sure about Fandango, but it was definitely in Cutaway.

Damn you caught me.

Lyle Cameron is credited with the word in the manner described a couple posts up.

Interestingly, he was one of the freefall photographers for the series "Ripcord", so maybe thats what you were thinking of...

Hang glider pilots also use the term.

Hi d-dub,

I made my first jump in early 1964 & that word was around long before that.

I seriously doubt that Cameron started the use of the word 'whuffo.' Urban legend in my book.
