HOW YOU FALL IF YOU FALL –
WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY,
A HELMET WITH MIPS

The MIPS
®
patented technology was developed by some of the world’s
leading researchers in biomechanics and neuroscience at the Royal Institute
of Technology (KTH) and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. You can see
for yourself the difference in an angled impact between helmets with and
without MIPS
®
. With exactly the same speed and angle, the results are
very different. The pictures speak for themselves – the more red areas,
the more strain in the brain. Gain peace of mind by helping to protect your
brain with a new standard of technology currently on the market, MIPS
®
.
The secret behind MIPS
®
, patented technology derives from the human brain. The brain
is surrounded by a low-friction cushion of cerebrospinal fluid that protects it by allowing
it to slide slightly on impact. MIPS
®
imitates the brain’s way of protecting itself by giving
the helmet its own low-friction layer between the outer shell and the liner, which also
slides to absorb a portion of the energy created by an angled blow to the head. This can
reduces the rotational force otherwise transmitted to your brain. The combination of
the brain’s own protection and MIPS
®
therefore provides more protection than a helmet
without MIPS
®
technology. Very simple and very effective. MIPS
®
mirrors the brain’s
own intelligent protection system and provides an additional element to helmet safety.
MIMICKING THE BRAIN –
Most helmets are tested only by dropping them vertically onto a flat surface. MIPS
®
technology is thehard-earned result of over 19yearsof studiesand testingbysomeof the
world’s leading researchers and brain surgeons, based on a different principle – reality.
Because in reality when you fall, your head usually hits the ground at an angle, creating a
rotational force that leads to strain in the brain. WithMIPS
®
, the helmet can absorbmore
of that rotational force, adding better protection than helmets not equipped with MIPS
®
.
