The MIPS technology is an added safety system built into helmets specifically designed to reduce rotational motion that may otherwise be transferred to the brain in the event of a crash. Unfortunately crashing can be part of our sport and our brains are vulnerable to damage resulting from rotational motion. Concussion is a term widely used to describe the symptoms of certain damage to the brain tissue caused by head injuries often resulting from rotational motion to the head, but the severity of concussions can be wide ranging and is often misunderstood. Follow us behind the scenes to learn more about helmet safety and what rotational motion really means.

I hit the windshield head on with my head shattering the windshield and helmet, flipped over the top and end up in a ditch unconscious. Probably exactly same impact as shown in tests here. Ambulance arrived and carried me off to hospital. After a number of tests etc I was released with just lots of cuts, bruises, 13 stitches in my leg and bad whiplash/neck pain. No MIPS obviously back then. Was I lucky? Have a hard head? Who knows. But this new tech is proven to give you a ‘greater chance’ of surviving so why wouldn’t you use it?

@pbjbagel Жыл бұрын

Very interesting! In the beautiful slow-mo shot at 15:34, using the keyboard keys you can see that the helmet deforms on impact while the head keeps moving forward because of the structural separation between the outer portion of the helmet and the head. I don't know if the rotational energy causing concussions thing is true, but by designing the system to absorb rotational energy as well as direct energy, the system is absorbing more of the total impact energy, thus lowering the total energy going into the brain.

So, should mips eqquiped helmets be freely rotating "10-15mm" while wearing it? Or should it be tight and barely moving like there's no mips at all? Because I think the biggest problem here is helmet sizing. For example, 59cm head size falls between a large and medium size. With a medium size, the mips helmet barely moves(kinda defeats the purpose of mips) but with a large size helmet, properly fitted, the mips "motion" is very noticeable. Although this is a great informative video, it didn't even tackle sizing and proper fitting of mips eqquiped helmets to properly take advantage of the new technology.

@JulitoPapitoo 3 жыл бұрын

There is an internal "cage" with adjustable fit via a ratcheting wheel on the back of the helmet. This cage is suspended by the mips system which isolates your head from an impact on the external helmet shell. So basically when you have the helmet on, the internal cage remains tight on your head but you can move the shell of the helmet slightly. You would choose a mips helmet size like any other helmet.

@glenneugenebernabe3057 3 жыл бұрын

@@JulitoPapitoo I think you missed the whole essence of my comment. It's the sizing of the helmet that makes this technology a hit or miss. Yes, the ratcheting wheel can make your helmet fit better, but the outer shell still remains big if the consumer falls in-between sizes. My example was a 59cm head size which generally falls between a large and a medium sized helmet. The difference in the size of the shell is very substantial between large and medium. So, even if you tighten the ratchet wheel (on a large helmet), the mips cage is secured but the shell moves too much. And if you do decide to go down a size (medium), then the shell plus mips cage sits/rests on your head. As a result, the cage has very little to no allowance to move. Or worse, it actually moves with the shell itself (which then becomes a traditional non-mips helmet). This "slight" movement that you've mentioned actually has a range in millimeters according to MIPS. So, you can't just say pick a helmet size and see if it moves "slightly".

@gandalfgreyhame3425 11 ай бұрын

Rotational motion in head trauma causes what is called diffuse axonal injury, or DAI, which is when the axonal fibers of the neurons are sheered off because of the rotational motion. This is because the gray matter, where the brain cells are located and the white matter, where the axon fibers are located, have slightly different physical propertiers so that a sudden rotational acceleration cause the two layers to accelerate/decelerate at different speeds resulting in a sheering force between the two layers. This causes the axons to sheer off from the neuron bodies. This is different from a direct blow to the brain, which simply contuses, or bruises the brain at the surface

My question is what's the difference between the MIPS system and having a cap on underneath (or indeed lots of hair)? Wouldn't both of those things also allow the head to move independently of the helmet in a similar way?

Only recently come across MIPS and find the tech very interesting. I’ve had a number of severe cranial injuries in my time, only two involving cycles. But both of those involved having the cycle & me being flung into the air and one involved being partially run over by a hit+run car, with me thrown over a bridge’s parapet. I could’ve done with something to reduce both head injuries. (Mind one could’ve been helped, if the driver hadn’t left me hanging off a bridge, while I bled onto the dual carriageway below.) Never did find the driver . But MIPS, yes. I’m just about to renew my chainsaw helmet. And only one forestry helmet, has MIPS protection built-in as standard.

best case scenario, just head weight. Add the extra 150 lbs body weight for the average American and you will find the angular/linear shock absorptive capability ALREADY maxed out. The tail end of the acceleration will show a spike when the end of the mips track is reached. (Mechanically this means that the mips is already at the end of its rotational limited track.) The frictional track of the mips may have to be increased in proportion to the increased several times weight to allow as linear vs time angular mometum decrease. Instead of smooth plastic a higher friction surface and longer track may be more ideal to absorb more energy to prevent the spike. Ex aero space Eng

Won’t it change the dynamic of the forces playing in the Mips system? Is the Mips still as efficient when loaded with a 60kg+ weight? 🤔 Btw, my helmet has this system, because as in everything related to brain damage, better be safe than sorry…

But what about the effect of your head actually being attached to your body?

@slowerandolder 4 жыл бұрын

You rarely fall ON your head - think ice skater, where the body hits the ice first and the head whips back or down to crack into the ice a split-second later. Similarly there's no horizontal, travelling-speed component to the tests, just the vertical fall. "Rarely" is not the same as never & cycling (like skiing) is a balance sport - you wouldn't expect to get good at skiing without falling a fair few times. So, if you've never done martial arts or tumbling of some sort or are generally awkward about hitting the floor, get some pointers.

slowerandolder no matter how much “falling practice” you get your head remains attached to your body which is a rather big anchor and does play part into how your head moves when you fall or when you get hit by a car. There’s a lot more to these accidents that need to be accounted for, but every improvement helps

Wear a helmet. I had a concussion from snowboarding and I had mild amnesia for hours afterwards. I could not remember anything someone said to me 15-20 seconds later. Scary stuff, and I wouldn't have had that if I wore a dang helmet. Don't be a fool like I was

@industryrule-4080 3 жыл бұрын

What I don’t understand is that the MIPS test drops the head on the top side of the helmet, do they simulate any other sort of crash scenario? When I’ve crashed, I’ve fallen sideways sliding out on a turn and hit the side of my head in what felt like a bounce off the ground while coming to a stop on the road.

Was mips designed by POC? And what is the difference between SPIN and MIPS

@neuspur 4 жыл бұрын

POC where among the first ones who used it - presumably for skiing. But they did not invent the system. They now have moved to a comparable "self invented" system. Maybe it is to avoid royalties? All of these systems are about rotational motion - and any system claims to be best.

The test head model they use does not properly account for skin being able to slide/wiggle a short distance over the skull freely. We essentially have a MIPS-like system by nature in our anatomy and they are testing as if we don't.

Seeing a lot of doubters in here. Seems pretty dumb to me to not buy a MIPS helmet when you can get one for $40. Either it works, and you might save your quality of life, or it doesn’t work, and nothing would have worked anyway.

I had bought a different helmet on Amazon at the beginning of this summer for my big headed daughter to wear while bicycling and scootering. kzfaq.infoUgkx0ipcYkXV-2YCp_cBN3HLfzR_OoD0HQYx Well it was WAY too big and not adjustable at all. Previously we had really expensive but adjustable helmets from the local bike store and I didn't really want to pay $50 again for another helmet. I searched and was fairly sure from the reviews that this helmet was what I was looking for- and it was! The pads inside are comfortable, the rim in front provides a bit of shade, but most of all for me there is the dial adjuster in the back which allows for a really secure fit on my daughters head. It seems like it will fit for a few years too which makes me even happier! She loves the pattern and I might end up buying another one for her twin sister (who has a much smaller head!)I definitely recommend this helmet. My daughter is 5 but has a big head. Her twin sister could fit in this one as well but it's a bit big.

Sounds like a great idea and am interested to learn about the design. The video really needs editing though it’s so slow paced it was hard to stay watching and I switched off at the gym/massage bit. Sorry to say but my bike mad partner did the same 😐
