With the help of numerous industry experts, USPA has given the 2025 USPA Skydiver's Information Manual the most comprehensive update in the document's history. Based in large part on feedback from members, this major reorganization improves the manual's clarity and readability, modernizes the information to better serve today's skydivers and improves the Integrated Student Program, all while maintaining the basic principles on which the manual is based. The 2025 SIM changes include:
- Replacing the previous outline form with a narrative form that flows easily from one idea to the next
- A reorganized Integrated Student Program that provides clearer guidance, a reader-friendly format and improved decision-making exercises and quizzes
- Improved graphics and a cleaner layout
- Expanded information about safety under canopy, including canopy-flight emergency procedures
- An overall modernization of information and elimination of outdated content by subject-matter experts in all areas of the sport
All jumpers, but especially instructors and other drop zone leadership, should consider updating their libraries to include the 2025 SIM.
Translations of the 2025 SIM, which are provided by entities outside of USPA, are not currently available. Translations of earlier versions are available here.
