The Skullerz 8902-MIPS Safety Helmet Replacement Suspension easily and securely attaches to Type 2 Skullerz Safety Helmets with Mips® Technology using 6 built-in mounting locations on the helmet shell. The suspension is integrated with the Mips Elevate safety system—a low-friction layer that slides multi-directionally upon angled impact with the intention of reducing the transmission of rotational force to the head.

MIPS ELEVATE SAFETY SYSTEM REDUCES COSTLY EFFECT OF ANGLED IMPACTS

Unlike traditional hard hats and safety helmets which are designed primarily to protect against direct impacts, this safety helmet suspension features Mips technology for protection against angled impacts—a common form of impact that occurs upon falling or contact to the side of the head.

How does Mips work?

Mips Elevate is a low-friction layer designed to slide multi-directionally (10-15mm) upon certain angled impacts to help reduce rotational force to the head.

What is rotational motion and why is it harmful?

Because the brain has shear properties similar to water or gel, it it more sensitive to rotational motion than linear (direct) motion. When parts of the brain move relative to each other as a result of rotational force, the tissues can stretch—potentially leading to life-altering Traumatic Brian Injuries (TBIs).

Compatible only with Skullerz 8963-MIPS Type 2, Class E Full Brim Safety Helmet and Skullerz 8964-MIPS Type 2, Class C Full Brim Safety Helmet (sold separately).
