USPA Safety Day 2026

Join Us for Safety Day on Saturday, March 14, 2026

Participating drop zones host USPA Safety Day as an opportunity for skydivers to wake up from winter hibernation and prepare for the new jump season ahead. Officially on the second Saturday in March, some drop zones host it on alternate dates. Activities typically include hands-on review and practice of safety procedures, seminars from skydiving operation professionals and experts, equipment evaluations and more. Most days end with a social get together. USPA encourages all jumpers of all experience levels to attend.

Nominate A Chesley H. Judy Safety Award Recipient

Be sure to nominate a recipient for the Chesley H. Judy Safety Award as part of your Safety Day activities. Each year, the S&TA and drop zone owner selects a worthy recipient who, in the previous year through example, deed, training, or innovation, has promoted safety in a substantive way. USPA will provide at no charge a certificate suitable for framing with the name of the recipient and name of the drop zone to be presented on Safety Day. Nominations must be submitted no later than February 15.

If you are an S&TA, log in to complete the award nomination form.
