Italian term or phrase: interruttore paracadute
This is from a section of a manual for a stairlift which describes upward movement.

Il contattore muove i contatti e la 24Vdc raggiunge il pin 6-X10 e la CPU(segnale109) la quale elabora l’informazione e con un ritardo di 3 secondi attiva il relè K.(segnale 207)
Questo determina un passaggio di corrente nel ramo S12(interruttore paracadute)- FR1(contatto termico del motore)- KM

The term doesn't come up on Google. "Parachute switch" only seems to talk about switches on parachutes so I'm not sure if there's a better option.

Explanation:
Media confidence, ma ti propongo questo perché per paracadute nei sistemi di sollevamento/abbassamento, ascensori etc. si intende un dispositivo di sicurezza.

In my opinion it is a security device:

- MECHANIC PARACHUTE with progressive hold directly activated by a speed limiter and equipped with a fixed security micro switch that stops the motor.
