About MIPS® Brain Protection System:
MIPS stands for Multi Directional Impact Protection System - A system that is designed to protect against impacts with different directions of movement/force.
These different directions of force are caused by impacts that hit the helmet at an angle. Classic helmets best absorb static (straight) impacts that strike at a right angle and do not create a rotational force.
Since static impacts are unrealistic and you usually hit the ground or other obstacles at an angle, the MIPS system was developed. It absorbs both static forces and rotational forces.
The model of the MIPS system is the human brain.
To protect the brain, there is a fluid between the brain and the skull bone. In the event of a blow to the head, the resulting rotational force is dissipated by minimal movements of this fluid layer and the force is not transmitted to the brain.
MIPS is a copy of this layer, so to speak.
For this purpose, a movable second shell is mounted in the outer shell of the helmet. This second shell rests directly on the head.
Now, if an impact occurs at an angle, the resulting rotational force is not transferred to the head, but is dissipated by the movement between the first and second shells. This system is very effective and can be integrated into any helmet without major problems.
