[ashleyp-AUS 0]

im new here as you can see, if you saw my introductory msg you know a little about me, i should be doing my first tandem in a few months now!! so excited! ive been looking through some posts on here and people have been referring to some others as "wuffo"....just curious as to what that means, ow and also.... ive been looking at gear, just to see what sort of money everything costs etc.....with regards to an AAD, are they compulsary? does everyone use them, is there a rule that you have to have them? i know they're pretty expensive and have a small idea of what they do.... so any other info would be great, just trying to build my info base up a bit!
thanks a lot
happy jumping

How do you pronounce whuffo anyway? Not once have I heard it spoken

Don't forget to pull!

And/or watch the movie Cutaway. It should cost around $5 or less at WalMart, in the super-bargin-crappy-movie bin.

an add is short for automatic activation device. if everything goes to shit and you don't have a canopy out around a 1000 feet, the aad will cut a piece of string and allow your back up chute to open. it is just a back up device and should NOT be relied upon.

some dz's require an aad but most do not. it is mostly a personal decision and for me its cheap life insurance. it might not work, but then again it might save my life.

whuffo is a term skydivers use to talk about non-skydivers. so until you make a skydive, you are a whuffo.
