Bilder: Mips – adding motorcycle helmet safety through innovation
In a crash or fall, a completely linear impact to your head is something one will hardly experience in everyday life. Despite this, helmets are manufactured with the primary intent to protect from linear impacts. In reality the area of greatest concern pertains to rotation and while global helmet safety is now recognizing rotational protection, it remains a secondary line of defense as opposed to the primary.
Max Strandwitz (CEO of Mips) gives a lot of information about Mips in the interview - it's all in the article!
This dummy head used for impact tests weigh around 4 kg
Using the finite element method, plausible findings from computer simulations can be obtained before real tests begin. This saves a huge amount of time and effort

The test procedure must be followed precisely. At Mips, focused work is the order of the day
Mips has developed a few helmets of its own that are currently being used for research and development purposes
MX and enduro helmets account for the larger proportion of motorcycle helmets
When riding off-road, the awareness of a possible fall is much greater
Mips vision is to reduce head injuries and save more lives
The Mips safety system is integrated almost invisibly into the helmet
It therefore does not affect comfort with pressing parts on the head or excessive weight

The 1000PS editor obviously asked a clever question, even though he has no idea
