The Parachute Museum Recommends:

For fascinating information on parachuting, the Parachute Museum recommends parachute.com, the website of the United States Parachute Association. The site offers industry news, articles on safety, and many other features.



While on the website, check out the official magazine of the USPA - "Parachutist" for some interesting articles. You can click on the current March 2022 issue, and also on back issues to leaf through page by page for more articles and photos.




An article of importance to the sport of skydiving can be seen on pages 46-47 of that March issue. Entitled "Saving Skydiving" by USPA Executive Director Emeritus, the article tells how rules proposed by the FAA in the 1960's endangered the sport of

skydiving in the U.S.
