Testing and results : taking a fall with a SCOTT MIPS® equipped helmet is very different

Helmets are designed and optimized for straight impacts. They do not consider angled impacts. In an angled impact rotational violence is transferred to the head and the brain.	MIPS is a low friction layer inside the helmet which allows the head to rotate relative to the helmet in an angled impact. This substantially reduces rotational violence and the potential for damage to the brain.

How People Fall ?

Conventional helmets are tested by dropping them vertically onto a solid surface. They are designed to protect you from straight / radial impacts. For over 15 years, MIPS has researched how people crash in the real world. Collaborating with some of the world's leading neurosurgeons and experts, MIPS® has established that when you fall, your head most often hits the ground at an angle, creating a rotational shock to the brain¹. This rotational shock can cause strain in your brain. A helmet with MIPS® absorbs much of that rotational energy, offering you better protection. And if, against all the odds, you do fall vertically onto your head, a SCOTT helmet with MIPS® will protect you just as well as an ordinary helmet.

 

MIPS imitated the brain's own protection system

 

The Brain is suspended in a low friction cerebrospinal fluid which allows your brain to slide within your skull to protect the brain under impact. MIPS®  Brain Protection System is a unique technology intended to protect your brain against angled impacts by imitating the brains natural low friction, barrier, thereby reducing the shock transmitted to your brain. Under angled impact the helmet slides on the MIPS® low friction layer minimizing the rotational violence transfered to the brain.

Strategically placed outer vents connects to extensive inner cooling channels.

During the in-mold manufacturing process, the outer shell of polycarbonate material is fused with the helmet’s impact absorbent foam liner, creating a super lightweight outer shell.With reduced weight and bulk surrounding the head, in-mold helmets are more comfortable than traditional helmets.

Road.cc presented the SCOTT Arx Plus helmet, and in addition to rate it 8/10, they wrote this :

 "[...] It's a pretty comfortable helmet and one that feels secure on the head. 

[...] I'm pleased that Scott have done the work to incorporate MIPS (they've been working with it for a number of years) because they think it's a worthwhile addition rather than because it's a requirement. Too many helmet manufacturers are designing their lids to pass the standard tests instead of thinking about what happens in a real-world collision. More of this please.

[...] It's a good helmet too: comfortable and well vented. I've worn it for everything from commuting to racing and most of the time not given it a second thought.
