Who regulates skydiving in the UK?

In the UK, skydiving is regulated by the British Skydiving (BS), formerly the British Parachute Association. They set safety standards, training requirements, and operational guidelines for all affiliated drop zones, like Skydive Langar. Their role is crucial in maintaining the sport's safety record and ensuring that incidents, such as the one in Nottinghamshire, are thoroughly reviewed to uphold best practices.
