Skydive dictionary : BASIC SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Minimum standards generally agreed upon as the accepted standard for safe skydiving activities. Published by USPA.

The Basic Safety Requirements (BSRs) have been established as the cornerstone of the self-policing principle upon which skydiving is based. They represent the industry standard generally agreed upon as necessary for an adequate level of safety. Research can be conducted to develop and document new methods and procedures within the BSRs and, when necessary, under waivers to the BSRs, to establish a justifiable basis to modify these standards. This section includes two fundamental, interrelated USPA publications: the Basic Safety Requirements and waivers to the Basic Safety Requirements.
