Rotational motion can be a major factor in head injuries on the job site. That’s why we designed the Mips® brain protection system for industrial safety helmets. The Mips system is designed to help redirect rotational motion to the head and reduce the risk of traumatic brain injuries.
Helmet impacts can be off-centered or angled, which can cause rotational motion to the head.
Angled or off-centered impacts can cause the head to rotate abruptly. Research has shown this can lead to concussions and brain trauma.
The Mips system is designed to help redirect the damaging rotational motion caused by certain off-centered or angled impacts away from the head, to in turn, help reduce the risk of brain trauma.

Every smart decision should be backed by science. Read our latest white papers and learn why rotational motion matters, and how Mips can help.
Created by a neuroscientist and an engineer, the Mips® brain protection system for industrial safety system is designed to provide added protection for industrial helmets. During certain angled impact, Mips’ system is designed to help reduce harmful forces that might otherwise be transferred to the head.
