What is Mips helmet technology?
Mips stands for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System.
The Mips system was invented in 1996 in Sweden by Hans von Holst, a neurosurgeon and Peter Halldin, a researcher from the Royal Institute of Technology.
The Mips safety system is an additional low friction liner that is incorporated inside the riding helmet.
How does the Mips safety system work?
Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips safety system consists of a low friction layer mounted inside the helmet.
In the event of a horse riding fall, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.
