Mips Safety System by Mips
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT...
The Mips safety system consists of a patented low-friction layer mounted inside the helmet. On impact, the low-friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect rotational motion away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.
The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational motion than linear motion because it has shear properties similar to water or gel. When different parts of the brain move relative to each other because of rotational motion, the tissues can stretch, which can cause concussions or other brain injuries.
COMPANY PROFILE
Mips specialises in helmet-based safety and is a market leader in this field. Based on an ingredient brand business model, the Mips safety system is sold to the global helmet industry. It is patent-protected and based on 25 years of research, testing and development.
Mips has partnered with 150+ helmet manufacturers, and the Mips safety system is included in more than 1,000 helmet models worldwide.
Mips employs 80+ people from its Headquarters in Sweden.
Everything revolves around the Mips low-friction layer. It mimics the brain's own safety system, which allows the brain to move slightly inside the head. The Mips safety system is designed to work on the same principle. The low-friction layer is built into the helmet, making the outer parts of the helmet, the shell, mobile, intended to allow the head to move 10–15 mm inside the helmet on impact.

Despite the widespread and mostly mandatory use of hard hats, construction and industrial workers are still at risk for severe head injuries, including concussions. They can suffer concussions from the impact force of a slip, trip or fall, a dropped object, or simply hitting their head against something. Head impacts do not always occur in a linear or straight-line motion. It is likely to be an angled impact, which could introduce a rotational motion to the head.
Traditional hard hats are developed and tested for straight impacts, protecting against injuries such as skull fractures, but they are often not designed to address rotational motion, stemming from angled impacts. Mips has partnered with leading PPE manufacturers globally to incorporate the Mips safety system into their hard hats.
