The USPA SIM (United States Parachute Association's Skydiver's Information Manual) is a comprehensive guide for skydivers, providing essential standards and recommendations for safe and enjoyable skydiving. It covers the Basic Safety Requirements agreed upon by USPA members and outlines the programs administered by USPA to recognize expertise, training abilities, and proficiency in the sport.

The SIM serves as a valuable resource for skydivers, offering a wealth of basic information. However, it is important for each jumper to conduct further research and consult with USPA and industry officials, as well as reliable individuals, for additional clarification and information.
