What Does MIPS Do? | Cycling Helmets, Concussion & Brain Injuries
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 31. 01. 2020
- 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 was hit by a pick-up truck last week when it pulled out in front of me. I was doing about 25 mph when my head bounced off the hood/bonnet. I was wearing my MIPS helmet and had no head injury! I'm not saying that no other helmet would have protected me but it does work!
I fell mountain biking broke helmet and did not have any head injury, mine had mips too, so it might have something to do with it
@@crisgarcia1384 caught an edge on grass while initiating a left turn { super late season} &my downhill ski just pushed out faster then i could have believed . Instantly Flat spun me 180. vertical head fall at least 10 feet.
Broke the MIPSin the helmet but that would have been a HUGE injury. I am glad to see that the people behind the patent have licensed to to basically all manufacturers. Its too big of an improvement in safety to keep to
About 21 years ago I had a head on with a car at speed. Wrote off the bike and cost thousands of damage to the car. 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 âgreater chanceâ of surviving so why wouldnât you use it?
@@russellscott1151 Dutch people think they dont need helmets some dont even know the benefits of normal helmets. Had already several discussions with such guys....dont know why some people dont even know that you can actualy have hard injuries or even die if you fall to the floor just while standing not even talking about habing speed on a bicylce.
He Just Said you cant see the mild concussive effects lol so yiu couldnt measure it. Thats not evidence that it works, the idea is very good tho
Last April I had a high speed crash with multiple rotational impacts while wearing a MIPS helmet. Every part of my body sustained injuries except for my feet and head. I was checked by the emergency room staff and did not receive a concussion or worse. In fact I didnât even have headache. Itâs my belief that the quality MIPS helmet I had made a difference.
james witte nope....
Iâm certainly not going to test that theory.
@@chinboy66 You are trolling, here. "Nope" is not credible evidence to dispute James' experience with the product.
@@chinboy66 lol you want to wear motorcycle helmet?
Interesting video, I crashed 18 months ago, in a helmet without MIPS and I am still dealing with the repercussions of TBI. After the broken bones healed, first thing I did was get a MIPS helmet!
Lisa Graham which sadly will not protect your head any better than your old one.
Sorry to hear about your injury
@@chinboy66 Well, I have to disagree with you on that, but I am not willing to crash headfirst into a barrier to find out.
@@chinboy66 You do not know that.
@@pjgarcia2417 The tech presupposes you wear your helmet synched tight to your head. All it does is allow a small amount of movement to lengthen the moment of inertia. The same thing can be done on non-yellow helmets for free by wearing it just a tad loose. It will move the same way these MiPs helmets move.
@@speleoth Yup, I have a trigger FF mips, the padding can move. I cannot make the padding move, my hair/head moves in the helmet before the mips padding. I tried a TLD stage mips and a foxproframe RS mips, I did them as tight as I could (wasn't hard they barely fit compressed my head) and I couldn't make the mips layer activate and move one mm but they did shift on my head 3cm.
The MIPS on my trigger FF, Can move 1cm, The helmet on its own already moves 3-5cm XD
Bought a new MIPS helmet this week. I'm surprised even many cheaper helmets had MIPS. I think it'll eventually become standard on most helmets...at least until the next technology.
As someone with a TBI, I truly appreciate every effort made to make sure no one else has to live with a TBI. And MIPS is a great step forward for cyclists and maybe horse riding.
Line B except that itâs not...
Sorry for your injury..
@@chinboy66 it's better than what is available here. And anything that can get people to use helmets, I'm absolutely for.
@@chinboy66 your say-so doesn't make it so. Evidence?
@@CarlForde just a troll
"Tearing of the brain tissue" is one of the most disturbing combinations of words I've heard this decade.
I am appreciative of the MIPS system. I sustained a MBI from being hit by a car. MIPS did its job. About 30% of the foam was cracked, a small section of the plastic covering the foam cracked. The helmet was dented onmthe top and where the 30% cracked foam was the covering plastic wasmdeformed. Mymfoncussion has extended past the 3 month mark.
I can't ridemir drive a car yet,. I bought a new helmet today with MIPS. Thankyou.
Took a crash on a dh bike at about 35kmph recently and had a side rotation impact from a tree, I was mildly concussed but I genuinely Believe this stopped me getting a severe concussion. Well worth the money
Really interesting! Glad I went for the MIPS option when I bought my last helmet
what helmet did u get? im looking for a mips helmet but cant find any!
@@gdr17racing51 Most Giro, Bell and Specialized helmets either come in a MIPS verison or have it as a standard. There's probably more brands that have MIPS but these are the ones i know of for sure. POC apparently has their own "knock off" MIPS technology. I personally have the Bell Stratus.
A very important subject covered really well by Chris. Well done đ only thing that spoilt it was 3 adverts in 15mins and a 4th at the end. That's a bit much.
Brill investigative journalism Chris! We need more of this info on head safety..
Asking a company to talk about their product is hardly investigative journalism, lol.
This is basically an ad. A great, informative, ad though. Good video, for sure.
Definitely not investigative journalism though, for sure. :)
i bought a Giant Rev Comp MIPS helmet a month ago and i wondering what MIPS means, so that's the reason it brought me here. thanks for this information.
Hans is in the right profession.

I see what you did there, good Sir đđ
@@86Hasse He didn't do it, it's a device that has been used in motorsport for years now.
Congrats, an educational video that I found very interesting.
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.
My new helmet has this and I wondered about the theory. Good to know. Makes me laugh at the reviews for the helmet though, more than a few complained about the cheap plastic liner and pulled it out.
Like Chris, I picked my helmets by look and feel but if the MIPS helps then all the better. I think I have one MIPS helmet and 2 non MIPS. I wear them equally as much.
SkidLid was selling this in 70's. CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety), Snell Foundation (independent helmet testing), and Bell (helmet manufacture) put them outa business. And SkidLid was a classic undercapitalized, family-run, labor of love. 50 years of unnecessary head injury.
Just got a Giro Register for $52 shipped, this really helped me in my purchasing decision, thanks!!
As someone who snowboards and frequently uses a Surron, along with many other extreme sports, MIPS is a 100% must have. Along with some other impact protection technologies like Wavecel safety is becoming better and better. Although the price may jump up thatâs all worth it when you think of it as how much do you value your own brain. Great video showing what goes into the tech.
For those unaware, Virginia Tech tests helmets of all kinds and rates them independently so itâs worth checking them out when shopping for a new helmet.
Mips go to the tour was sees
I'm not a pro cyclist so I value helmet safety very highly. Its actually my priority when it comes to choosing a helmet. Ill be looking out for MIPS on my next helmet
Cool, now I know what to look for in my next helmet
Interesting video, just had to buy a new helmet after a crash which smashed it up and it's a no-brainer (sorry) to get one with mips as the price differential isn't that great anymore and it's available on helmets lower down the range. 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?
Pretty interesting thanks !
Great video guys! đđ»
Such a great idea/design
i was doing a dh run on a trail near mine and didnt realise a branch has droped down lower on a tree and i went straight in to it but thankgod helmet hit and took the impact and i was fine as mips took care of it i recommend mips 100% saved me serious injuries to head for sure
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.
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.
@@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".
yay sweden! finally GCN representing [mai peepel]
Excelent! I'm acquired one Specialized MIPS! I love your shoes man! So Beaultiful hahaha Is a one Oakley Model?
This tripped me out, I swear I have watched this before
You've also written the same comment before.
I had never heard of this system until today. I'm looking at getting an E-bike, so I was looking at helmets. I will definitely only buy a helmet with the MIPS system in it. I work in Radiology, so I see a lot of head injuries.
It's worth it, for sure! Better to be safe, for sure :)
Yes, most of us don't think about the specifics of rotational motion or how a helmet actually works... until we experience it first hand. I survived a crash (my first and only so far!) this summer because of my MIPS helmet. Cracked a couple of vertebrae and the first rib, which shows how much force there was. But no concussion = freaking amazing! It was $30 more for the MIPS version of the helmet - a no-brainer (pun intended).
If you have hair on your head you already have free slip plane technology
Same here, I landed head first and fractured a vertebrae - but no concussion. So glad I had a MIPS helmet. Hope you have recovered well!
Just got a MIPS helmet too!
Glad to hear you avoided brain injury!
Loved the pun, by the way :).
watching this while wearing my mips helmet
This is the most interesting video I have seen this week on YT and I'm not even searched for it. đ€Ș I will definitely buy a new helmet. Is the helmet comfort the same with mips?
Depends who you buy it from
I've also just thought - high end expensive helmet = safe. Am literally ordering a MIPS equipped helmet now. Fantastic video. Thanks team :-)
Helmet companies love people like you
Lots of cheaper helmets come equipped with mips as well
Just bought a MIPS helmet. My safety and health is the priority.
Recently bought and then returned a MIPS helmet that I very much wanted, because it was the wrong size and didn't fit properly. I had assumed that S, M & L nomenclature was a standard among brands, and didn't even try it on when I purchased it. In one brand I am "Large" and in the other I am a "Small." Must go by mm size only! Now I have a non-MIPS helmet that fits properly. I think it's a great advancement and will purchase one in the future, I expect. I wonder if a non-MIPS interior system that allows some movement is advantageous, if not quite as much so.
I just bought a MIPS helmet from Bell. My previous Bell was not a MIPS. Same size helmet (medium) and supposedly I am 3cm under the upper size rating. The MIPS one fits a lot more snug, almost too snug. I usually wear a casquette and probably should have gone up a size.
Super good video
Only recently come across MIPS and find the tech very interesting. Iâve 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 bridgeâs parapet. I couldâve done with something to reduce both head injuries. (Mind one couldâve been helped, if the driver hadnât left me hanging off a bridge, while I bled onto the dual carriageway below.) Never did find the driver .
But MIPS, yes. Iâm just about to renew my chainsaw helmet. And only one forestry helmet, has MIPS protection built-in as standard.
Sounds nice it also will reduce the rotation for to the rest of your body like the neck.
Does somebody recommend a Uvex Ivo cc MIPS or there some other good one ?
This helmet is super comfortable !!!! đ
Wasnt this uploaded a couple of weeks back?
I just had the same thought đ
The video was edited to better represent the theory behind MIPS.
MIPS is good. Why not talk about helmets that meet the NTA-8776 standard?
Sweden is known for its quality products đđ
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
I have seen this episode already. Then I wanted to rewatch it but couldn't find it, until now.
Wasnât that a visit to POC also in Sweden
The final example with the snow globe is a very bad one: the snow does not move when dropping down because it's all at the bottom already. Instead, the brain is not all on one side of the skull.
In a lot of test there is no difference between MIPS and non-MIPS helmets. Some helmets without MIPS have even better test values in rotational motion tests than MIPS helmets.
Wow, GCN this must be a first. This really good video with Chris was uploaded and I enjoyed it very much a couple of weeks ago but when I heard it mentioned on the GCN Show I thought that it was a mistake but no.... what happened here? Loved Opie and this subject but do we really need it twice in a month or has someone in the GCN offices maybe got concusion?! đ
It's great but as we know never good enough đ great that they are pushing it on đ
I wonder how quick the anti-helmet crew would change their mind once they smash their head on the road!
I think they have already fell without helmet and the aftermath caused their bad decision making
I don't care if that crowd doesn't wear a helmet, but what is with the propaganda from them to discourage helmet use by others?
The "anti-helmet crew" won't be thinking anything if they end up as vegetables. You can never have too much protection for your one and only brain.
I'm pretty sure their mind is changed at the moment of impact, usually for the worse.
đchanged mine instantly
Isn't this a re post
Ethan Hogrider they are a green channel after all, they recycle content
And if this were next door in Finland, the script would be "There's even another really cool room to go to after massage - the hot sauna and freezing cold plunge pool!"
Iâm planning to buy a new helmet which is the fox speed frame đȘ Iâm not sure which one to get the regular non mips or with mips đ€Ż
Iâd defiantly go for mips! Lots of extra benefits even though it costs a bit more.
I appreciate that you commented and sharedyour opinion. Iâve just ordered mine the wurd blue color mips
I had a crash. Fell on the side of the head. Broke my cheap Decathlon helmet. I didn't a headache. I doesn't prove a thing. :)
Funny, I have been cycling for 40 yrs, it is my main transport, only been hit by cars twice in all that time in quite a minor way without head injury thank God, and I see a lot of dangerous driving and idiot motorists (not indicating, speeding in residential areas, speeding across roundabouts etc) but am never that nervous about cycling, but just watching a few seconds of video with a crash test human head and hearing people talking about severe head injuries, makes me a lot more nervous, something disturbing about the imagery...and I guess is a reality check about how dangerous it is to be a cyclist in a motorized vehicle dominated society and transport infrastructure.
The plastic of the mips reduces the crushing of the EPS foam in a straight on impact, and their test rig has the grippiest grip tape which maximizes the rotation, I wonder how much difference there would be with asphalt and if that would offset the reduction in crushing from the mips plastic đ€
I am a bit late to the party butâŠ. The tests are done with a ~5kg head, what about the 60+ kg of the rest of the body that are coming along for the crash? Donât it matter? Wonât it change the dynamic of the forces playing in the Mips system? Is the Mips still as efficient when loaded with a 60kg+ weight? đ€
Btw, my helmet has this system, because as in everything related to brain damage, better be safe than sorryâŠ
I just bought a new helmet. I did not and would not consider any helmet without a MIPS system. I had an accident some years ago where my helmet saved my life. I sent pictures of the broken helmet to the manufacturer and their reaction was "And you lived!". So, I suggest always wearing a helmet, specifically one with MIPS.
This should be a standard in all helmets.
I wear a MIPS helmet on the bike and in the car. I am told that the chance of serious injury is greater whilst driving than cycling.
Great vid, completely agree with what MIPS are doing however, when they test why are they not using a full weighted body not just the head because surely this increases the impact speed, pressure and other aspects such as rotation???
Virginia Tech has done that. Check the link I attached above.
Note to self. Don't forget neck exercise
I though Si and Dan were drunk at the end of the last GCN Show when they said that this video was coming out this week..but no, the whole GCN HQ is drunk! đ
surely the mass of the brain relative to the skull can be known as well as the distance from skull to brain as it floats in the protective fluid , therefore we can calculate accurately how far said brain will bounce around. the goal is to create an isolate gyroscope for the head ( and ultimately the brain ) to ride inside of as it collides with another mass, moving or not.
considering the skull is connected to the spine and upper body, a full skeletal model inside a mold would need to be implanted with millions of microchips and then subjected to countless real world inertia tests at all possible speeds and angles
then we would have a truly perfect as possible helmet
basically antigravity helmet :D
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
5:00 "never heard of rotational motion".
Pena que não mostrou os gråficos e testes claramente, poderiam mostrar como é a comparação entre o capacete com mips ou sem mips.
I recently came off my bike at speed & my head along with the rest of my body was hurled into a cattle grid af full force. My Giro MIPS helmet saved my life without a shadow of a doubt. If I had not been wearing my helmet the right side & temple region of my head would have impacted into the cattle grid. I was badly bruised around my ribs, arms & legs. They are now healed. Please guys, Always wear a MIPS helmet.
18 Minutes of something I can explain my 7 Year old niece in 8 Seconds and she understands it. JESUS CRIST....
I had a bad accedent 20 years ago i was ripping a stand up wheelie like i always do my bike fliped out and i landed on the back of my head on the left side it shatterd my helmet i woke up in hospital wth a neck brace on if i wasnt wearing a helmet id be dead or worse a vegie they didnt have this technology back then i wish they did my neck is still bad from that accedent
1:02 what glasses are those?
Roka GP-1, they are great but a bit pricey
What I donât 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 Iâve crashed, Iâve 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.
It slided in all directions.
Adjustable
3 years later and they're still not cheaper...
Was mips designed by POC? And what is the difference between SPIN and MIPS
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.
Fucking hell, is this what deja vu is?
About 21 years ago I had a head on with a car at speed. Wrote off the bike and cost thousands of damage to the car.

Maybe MIPS felt they didnt get enough for their money by showing this only once..
@@SwazerSwazers, who cares is right, but it's not just about saving lives. It's about preventing a concussion, even a mild one. Both my helmets are Mips.
czcams.com/video/X_vtc0lMYRw/video.html can clearly see a clamp holding the sticky rubber head into the mips layer lmfao.
I'm wearing my MIPS helmet over the old one, even though it's 100 grams heavier
But what about the effect of your head actually being attached to your body?
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 âfalling practiceâ 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. Thereâs 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
No side impact tests⊠So, who falls on TOP of their head?
I crashed before without mips but I think I'm completely fine.

underrated comment đ
Sounds like a great idea and am interested to learn about the design. The video really needs editing though itâs 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 đ
What is the difference between mips and wg11????
I think I've seen it before...
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. czcams.com/users/postUgkx0ipcYkXV-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.
but rotation can still come right? It is not a 360 degree rotation. Is it just a matter of delaying rotation?
I definitely will always buy a helmet with MIPS. Governments should make this a mandatory requirement when making helmets.
I had mips on my ski helmet and I still got knocked out cold and split my helmet in half đmight not be here if I didnât have a helmet on though.
De ja vue?
No jus a re-ed-it-du-de.
If concussion is a general term does that mean the scientific term is âshaking the brain to shit inside the skullâ? Lol
@1:15
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 doesnât work, and nothing would have worked anyway.
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.
