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]

AP Photo. When the days of the old leather helmet went into retirement, Penn State introduced a white shell of a helmet with a single blue stripe down the middle of it.
Helmets of many different types have developed over time. Most early helmets had military uses, though some may have had more ceremonial than combat applications. Two important helmet types to develop in antiquity were the Corinthian helmet and the Roman galea.
World history in the Western tradition is commonly divided into three parts, viz. ancient, medieval, and modern time. [2] The division on ancient and medieval periods is less sharp or absent in the Arabic and Asian historiographies.
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%. Their use is required by law in many countries. [1] [2] However, only 10.4% of all motorcyclists wear helmets, according to the World Health Organization in 2016. [3]
