Do all DZs have one? Safety Day is March 13th. The following is from the USPA website. Safety Day USPA encourages all jumpers of all experience levels to attend USPA Safety Day, hosted the second Saturday in March at all participating drop zones. USPA Safety & Training Advisors and other drop zone staff members plan and coordinate this special day of seminars, updates, and review training. USPA encourages every drop zone to host Safety Day. Safety Day promotes safety programs and helps inform jumpers of new developments and review important information and procedures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Safety Day? Safety Day was the idea of a soft-spoken but enthusiastic woman named Patti Chernis who approached the USPA Board of Directors with the concept in 1996. The board applauded and endorsed her plan. Preparations for the first USPA Safety Day were well underway when, ironically, Chernis was found dead after landing apparently unconscious under her open main parachute on New Year's Eve 1996. She died before learning that she had just been elected USPA's Northwest Regional Director. Patti Chernis' idea survived, however. A majority of DZs now report Safety Day activities each March.
