[2] Rotational motion is the result of the brain continuing to move or stretch after the head has come to a quick and sudden stop following an angled impact.
[2] To evaluate the risk of different types of head injuries and to simulate impacts where a person is wearing a helmet, they used the Finite Element Model, developed by Svein Klein, Professor at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
Following its inception in 2001, MIPS AB evolved from concept to product, introducing the technology in an equestrian helmet 2007.
In 2010, MIPS AB expanded into the bike and snow helmet industries, gaining widespread acceptance as both the technology, and awareness of head trauma became increasingly recognized in similarly risky sports.
In 2019, the founders Peter Halldin, Hans von Holst and Svein Kleiven received the Polhem Prize, the oldest and most prestigious technical Swedish award.
