In a helmet equipped with the MIPS safety system, a low-friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, resulting in a reduction of the rotational motion that may otherwise be transmitted to the brain. In this way, the MIPS approach mimics the natural safety system of the human head. [4]
A full-face helmet after a crash Half helmets or "skid lids" meet minimum legal requirements in the United States. Helmet — Wearing a helmet reduces the rider's risk of death by 37% compared to riding without it. [62] A full-face helmet provides the most protection. Thirty-five percent of all crashes show major impact on the chin-bar area. [57]
A motorcyclist wearing helmet, gloves, boots and leathers slides along a racetrack after crashing Some riders neglect safety with other priorities in choosing what equipment to wear. To improve motorcycle safety , many countries mandate the wearing of personal protective equipment such as protective clothing and helmets .
1. HANS device, 2. Tether (one per side), 3. Helmet anchor (one per side), and 4. Shoulder support. Primarily made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, the HANS device is shaped like a "U", with the back of the "U" set behind the nape of the neck and the two arms lying flat along the top of the chest over the pectoral muscles.
ALBERTVILLE, France (AP) - Two minutes of footage from a camera on Michael Schumacher's ski helmet showed the Formula One great was clearly skiing off a groomed trail when he lost his balance and ...
A collection of full-face motorcycle helmets worn by Moto GP racer Valentino Rossi. A motorcycle helmet is a type of helmet used by motorcycle riders. Motorcycle helmets contribute to motorcycle safety by protecting the rider's head in the event of an impact. They reduce the risk of head injury by 69% and the risk of death by 42%.

MIPS Computer Systems Inc. was founded in 1984 [11] by a group of researchers from Stanford University including John L. Hennessy and Chris Rowen.These researchers had worked on a project called MIPS (for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages), one of the projects that pioneered the RISC concept.
