World's First Safety Helmet With MIPS Brain Protection System
MIPS, has partnered with Swedish industrial safety company, Guardio, to develop of the first MIPS-equipped industrial safety helmet, slated for release this month. The MIPS brain protection system is designed to reduce the rotational motion transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head.
