To the average person it may appear as you say,

[Yeah....those damm skydivers....jump out below the clouds, with nothing between them and the ground but clear sky...how much more stupid can you get?! /QUOTE]

I have more than 2000 skydives, many wearing two different types of cameras, the short clip I looked at begins at the break off altitude (That jump probably began around 14,000 ft), at many large drop zones spotting is accomplished by the pilot by means of a GPS receiver for obvious reasons, take another look at the sky conditions, the jumper is probably 1800 - 2000 ft.

Cheers:beer:

Ah...yeah.

Frac Capt is a skydiver, and in case you didn't notice (you didn't), his comment was intended as ironic. Tongue in cheeck. Humor. Sarcasm.

I think he understood, perfectly, hence his commentary worded the way it is.

I wouldn't worry about it...he was doing what you were doing...the sport benifits by enhancing public understanding, and the sport is often misunderstood. Especially in the aviation community. It's a safe, legitimate sport, and a legitimate and genuine part of the aviation community. Explaining that is never a bad thing.
