INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

®

AVAILABLE IN SELECT FLY F2 AND

TOXIN HELMET MODELS

MIPS works by installing a thin (0.5–0.7

mm), ventilated, custom cut low-friction

layer inside the helmet liner. The layer

is held in place by an assemblage

of composite anchors that flex in all

directions. These anchors hold the layer

in place, around the head, but provide a

small movement in response to angled

impact.

The MIPS Brain Protection System is

designed to reduce rotational motion

transferred to the brain from angled

impacts to the head. Brain injuries

originate not only from direct impacts

to the head, but also from rotational

forces resulting from impacts occurring

at an angle. The MIPS technology

is scientifically proven to reduce

rotational motion by absorbing and

redirecting rotational energies and forces

transferred to the brain from angled

impacts to the head.

STRAIN LEVEL

= The more red the more strain

The graphic was generated using a finite element computer model based on measurements obtained from nine

accelerometers in a Hybrid III crash test dummy head. The dummy head wearing a helmet was subjected to an angled

impact using the MIPS test rig. The model illustrates strain in the brain from a similar angled impact when the dummy head

is wearing a helmet without MIPS and a helmet with MIPS.
