Newcomers Leap Into Action
Get ready for an adrenaline-filled day as the world comes together for the annual celebration of skydiving - World Skydiving Day 2025. Scheduled for July 12, 2025, this global event invites everyone, from seasoned jumpers to first-time thrill-seekers, to be part of skydiving history.
The organisers, including the USPA, British Skydiving, the Australian Parachute Federation, and the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association, have set a mission to break the record of 30,351 jumps in a single day, a feat achieved in 2024.
Last year, Skydive Arizona, located in Eloy, played a significant role in the first-ever World Skydiving Day. The event represented a true global effort in the world of skydiving, as jumps happened on every continent over a 24-hour period.
In 2025, skydivers from around the globe participated, making multiple jumps each. However, the total of 26,718 jumps recorded across 24 countries fell short of the previous year's record, largely due to weather-related drop zone closures in Western Australia.
Anyone can participate in World Skydiving Day 2025, including first-time jumpers who can join tandem jumps with instructors. Safety and standards are maintained by associations operating the drop zones globally, ensuring risk is minimized through preparation and protocols. Age limits vary by country and must be confirmed with local centers.
The focus for World Skydiving Day 2025 is on breaking the record set in 2024, but it's more than just an event. It's a global celebration with a community focus, open to all levels of experience. The event highlights the shared bond among skydivers internationally, uniting the skydiving community to celebrate their passion beyond just the record itself.
Stephen Porter, CEO of the Australian Parachute Federation, praised World Skydiving Day as a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together and promote the sport. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, in India, took his first leap on World Skydiving Day and described skydiving as "the ultimate metaphor for life."
For those interested in getting involved or planning their next jump, participants are encouraged to visit the World Skydiving Day website for more information. Let's join hands and create history by being part of the World Skydiving Day 2025 record-breaking attempt!
