Technical Reports Prove Fiorentino is the Safest

Through years of scientific research and real-life deployment and destruction tests, FIORENTINO has become the first and only drag device manufacturing company to develop safety guidelines for quality para-anchor construction. Unlike many other products designed to protect our safety and well being, like child car seats,air bags, life jackets or motorcycle helmets, there is no government organization regulating safety standards for the construction of drag devices.

Without guidelines, other drag device manufacturers have blindly created and sold various so-called life-saving devices without the aid of measured statistics. These same manufacturers endorse its products as safe and reliable despite flaws and failures found in real-life use.

Backed up by Scientific Data and
Real-Life Testing

Para-anchor expert Zack Smith joined Fiorentino more than a decade ago to conduct research that would provide the data necessary for engineering the best and safest drag devices and products available. His extensive drag device research through sea-trials, tug test and load tests, have made him a respected industry expert. Smith's Reports provide an inside view of why Fiorentino chooses specific fabrics and hardware in its drogue and parachute anchor construction. Smith's Reports further demonstrate how high standards provide a safer drogue and parachute anchor for boaters. With the results of his research, the company developed the first and only set of formulas that provide accurate guidelines for rigging a parachute anchor onto different types of boats. The formulas also provide resolutions for when boats  misbehave while using a drogue or parachute anchor. The years of testing have also reiterated that the proper use of these products is essential for maximum comfort and safety.
