Skydiver Safety Day
Sat, Mar 09
|Clarksville
Most Drop Zones shut down during the winter months. Because of this, some jumpers can get a little rusty. Therefore, the USPA has created a Safety Day, a FREE event filled with knowledge, safety, and prizes!

About the event
Established in 1997 from an idea by Patti Chernis, Safety Day provides a worldwide forum at local drop zones to prepare jumpers for the year ahead. Safety Day promotes safety programs and helps inform jumpers (of all licenses) review important information and procedures. 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.
Please attend and join us as we go over procedures, similar to a First Jump Course. This Safety Day is for ALL levels of jumpers, from students to pros. Bring yourself, your wonderful smile, your gear, and log book and we will make a day of it!
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.
