About MIPS
MIPS is a patented technology that adds a low-friction layer between the head and the riding helmet, developed to reduce rotational violence to the brain during an angled impact.
Conventional riding helmets are tested by dropping them vertically onto a flat surface, and the helmets are also designed based on that test data. MIPS is designed to function according to how most accidents occur, with angled impacts to the head. MIPS changes the way of thinking about safety in riding helmets and other helmets.
The Graph
The graph (see image) was generated using a final computer model, based on measurements taken from nine accelerometers in a “Hybrid III” crash test with a “dummy” head. The “dummy” wore a traditional helmet and a MIPS helmet, and then the test results were compared against each other. The model/image shows the stretching in the brain during a simulated angled impact when the “dummy” wears a traditional helmet, without MIPS, compared to a helmet with MIPS technology.
