"Mips technology was developed to address the limitations of traditional helmets, which primarily protect against linear impacts but do not mitigate rotational forces that can lead to serious brain injuries."
"Research indicates that rotational acceleration is a significant factor in concussions and severe injuries, highlighting the need for helmets that can effectively manage these forces during sports activities."
"Mips allows the helmet to rotate slightly upon impact, which helps to reduce the shear strain on the brain, providing an additional layer of protection for athletes."
"With over 150 helmet partners, Mips has successfully integrated its technology into various types of helmets, including those used in skiing, cycling, and motor sports."
Mips technology was developed to improve helmet safety by addressing the rotational forces that cause brain injuries during angled impacts. Traditional helmets protect against direct impacts but fail to mitigate the effects of rotational forces, which are common in sports accidents. Mips works by allowing the helmet to rotate slightly upon impact, reducing the strain on the brain. The technology has gained traction across various sports, with over 150 helmet partners, enhancing safety for athletes in skiing, cycling, and more.
