MIPS TECHNOLOGY
which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduc rotational forces that can result from certain impacts
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. The stretching of the tissue that caused by these motions can result in various types of brain injury. We believe that helmets equipped with MIPS technology can probide an additional measure of protection in certain impacts.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
