Mips helmet system
Good morning my friends, have any of you heard of this? I was surfing around this morning and came across a video on YT that I found interesting. I clipped the most important informational segments out of it and felt compelled to post it here. Kinda like a public service announcement I guess. I'll post a link as well to the video I trimmed this from. Ride safe my friends. It appears that you will have to click on the "watch on YT" portion to watch the videos, don't know why. Apologies.3:16 in length.

I found an article dated 2020 that had this:-
Perhaps hasn't caught on with many on-road makes.
The majority of motorcycle helmets for sale with MIPS in 2018 are designed for off-road, from 13 companies like AlpineStars, Fox and KTM. But there are road lids available, from the likes of Bell and Kabuto. Other manufacturers will be releasing lids in 2019, while discussions are ongoing with more brands for release further down the line.
In cycling, there are already 44 companies offering MIPS-equipped lids, including Bell, Giro and Smith. Snow sports are covered by 21 manufacturers like Oakley, Scott and Rossignol, while equestrian currently has two – Armis and Back on Track.

The MIPs system if you think of it secondary liner absorbs the rotational blow as well as straight on.
Data backed up by real simulation and the computer models take that raw data and multiply it to get real world speeds.
i think that sums it up quickly, it is a good video and makes sense,

Of course -- Icon AirFlite.
Can't speak highly enough about it. I hit two branches simultaneously, one across my chest in my armored MotoPort riding suit which ended up shattering one vertebrae and breaking two more vertebrae, and the other across my forehead (which ended up causing a very minor small cut on the bridge of my nose, most likely from my glasses).
That $250 helmet unquestionably saved my life, very glad I had it!
