An energy absorbing device provided at the parachute riser strap of an aircraft, UAV, etc., adapted to reduce the otherwise high forces resulting from the weight of the aircraft, the speed of descent and, ultimately, the speed of impact, activated by the pilot or by means of the photoelectric cell attached underneath the aircraft measuring the distance from the ground.

A device to orient a riser of a parachute. The device can include a twist body that is includes a slot through which the riser passes. The slot includes a twist to change the orientation of the riser from a relatively high-profile orientation to a relatively low-profile orientation. The device can also include a link to connect the riser to the suspension lines on the canopy.

A device (1) is described for braking the fall of a load comprising a sling (2) and a braking element (3, 30), said sling (2) comprising a first end (21) constrainable to an anchoring point; a second end (22) constrainable to said load; a folded section (23) comprising a first portion (23a) of said sling (2) reversibly joined to a second portion (23b) of said sling (2), said folded section (23) providing a resistance to the separation of said first and second portions (23a, 23b). The sling further comprises a first free section (24) comprised between said first portion (23a) of said folded section (23) and said first end (21); and a second free section (25) comprised between said second portion (23b) of said folded section (23) and said second end (22). The braking element (3, 30) comprises a plurality of passages for said sling (2), said first free section (24) crossing at least one first passage (3a), said second free section (25) crossing at least one second passage (3b), so that said first portion (23a), as a consequence of the application of a traction force (FT, FT) higher than a threshold value to at least one of said two ends (21, 22), separates from said second portion (23b) and crosses said first passage (3a), and said second portion 23b crosses said second passage (3b).
