 a one or more lower load bypass devices 
 attached to said lower load diversion device; 
   said well control equipment releaseably attached to said first set of components; and   said one or more load diversion devices holding a portion of said load created by said first set of components.   
     
     
         2 . The flow head system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 said lower load diversion device comprises a center aperture;   a portion of said first set of components fits through said center aperture of said lower load diversion device; and   said first set of components rotates in and relative to said lower load diversion device.   
     
     
         3 . The flow head system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first bearing between said lower load diversion device and said first set of components; and   said first set of components sit upon a first bearing and rotate about said center axis on said first bearing.   
     
     
         4 . The flow head system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 said one or more load diversion devices comprises
 said lower load diversion device, 
 an upper load diversion device, and 
 said one or more lower load bypass devices; and 
   said one or more lower load bypass devices comprise a first bail and a second bail.   
     
     
         5 . The flow head system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 each of said one or more lower load bypass devices comprise a first eye and a second eye;   said lower load diversion device comprises a one or more ears;   said upper load diversion device comprises a one or more ears;   each of said first eyes fit over a portion of said one or more ears of said lower load diversion device; and   each of said second eyes fit over a portion of said one or more ears of said upper load diversion device.   
     
     
         6 . The flow head system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 said one or more lower load bypass devices are welded to said lower load diversion device and said upper load diversion device.   
     
     
         7 . The flow head system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 said one or more lower load bypass devices are arranged so as to allow said well control equipment to freely rotate within said one or more load diversion devices.   
     
     
         8 . The flow head system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a one or more upper load bypass devices;   said lower load diversion device is attached to said upper load diversion device with said one or more lower load bypass devices; and   said upper load diversion device is attached to said offshore facility with said one or more upper load bypass devices.   
     
     
         9 . A method of using a flow head system, comprising:
 bypassing a load from a first set of components with a one or more load diversion devices; wherein,   said one or more load diversion devices releaseably attached to said first set of components;   said one or more load diversion devices comprising a lower load diversion device releaseably attached to said first set of components;   said one or more load diversion devices attached to an offshore facility;   said one or more load diversion devices holding said load created by said first set of components;   said first set of components releaseably attached to a string of pipe;   said first set of components capable of rotating about a center axis relative to said one or more load diversion devices;   said one or more load diversion devices comprising
 a one or more lower load bypass devices 
 attached to said lower load diversion device; 
   said well control equipment releaseably attached to said first set of components; and   said one or more load diversion devices holding a portion of said load created by said first set of components.
