Mips AB is the global leader in helmet safety technologies with its revolutionary and patented Mips® The helmet strikes a 45 degrees impact anvil.

Mips has evolved through study and testing in Sweden since 1996 by some of the world’s leading researchers in biomechanics and neuroscience at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. The two universities created a joint department called Neuronics. Mips sprung out from a research project at Neuronics which also saw the development of a helmet test rig for angled impacts. A Hybrid III dummy head, specially designed to measure the complex linear and rotational kinematics that occurs in the head during an impact, is fixed in a helmet, which is placed on a frame. The frame is attached to two pillars and travels with minimum friction in a vertical direction. Inside the dummy head is a system of nine mounted accelerometers. With this method, it is possible to measure linear accelerations in all directions and rotational accelerations around all axes. Full-face motorcycle helmets, as well as other sports helmets, have been tested in this type of angled test rig. In addition to the angled impact test, Mips has access to an advanced computerized finite element model of the head and neck that can be used for injury prediction in impact simulations. This computer model was developed at the Royal Institute of Technology and work continues to further develop the model, which is used to test and optimize the protective properties of helmets with Mips.

That’s the difference.

How do we test a motorcycle helmet with the Mips® TX system?

From design to approval, every helmet with a Mips® safety system goes through a series of angled impact tests. Because in real life, people fall sideways, backwards, and everything in between.

Step into our lab and see how we test them. Link in bio.

The results and estimations in this video are simulated results. The graphics illustrate the strain in the brain during an angled impact, comparing the same helmet model with and without the Mips® System installed. The strain is computed with the KTH Brain Model (Kleiven, 2007) using acceleration data from the THUMS model developed by Toyota. The dummy head was subjected to an angled impact at 7.5 m/s, using the Mips test rig, wearing a motorcycle helmet without the Mips® System and with the same helmet but with the Mips® System installed.

Strain in the brain is a metric for brain injury and is correlated with the risk of concussion, where a strain of 0.225 corresponds to a 25% risk, according to the risk function given by Fahlstedt et al. (2022).

How to choose a motorcycle helmet. Swipe for your five-point checklist.

🟡 Rotational motion. Look for a low-friction layer, like the Mips® Safety System, designed to help reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts.

🟡 Fit and comfort. Every head is shaped differently. Check the size, the retention system and the straps.

🟡 Certification. Make sure the helmet meets the latest safety regulations where you ride.

🟡 Helmet type. Full-face, modular, open-face or half-shell. Pick the one that suits the riding you do.

🟡 Brand and style. Choose a brand you trust, and a look you’ll want to wear every ride.

You don’t have to believe it’s safe. You just have to believe in your helmet.
