Mips

Mips 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.

Why do we use 3D-printing?

We use 3D printing to quickly turn ideas into prototypes, test them, and improve designs throughout the development process.

Tested by scientists, trusted by riders.

How do we test a helmet?
 
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.

Why do we polish our test dummies?

To ensure consistent friction between the test head and helmet padding. We clean the surface with isopropanol to remove grease and dirt, then measure friction in different directions to verify it falls within the specified range. This helps us maintain accurate and repeatable impact tests.
