Riser recoil system

A system that slows the rapid stroke acceleration of the riser tension rods due to the sudden reduction in the load caused by a riser connector unlatch or riser parting and dampens spring effect thereafter. This helps prevent compressive loading on the riser string, diverter or substructure damage, and LMRP clash with lower stack on downward motion.
