Safety
MIPS
While the standards address force sustained in direct impacts, the Mips component is tested to help reduce your brain’s internal rotational motion in an impact, the types of injuries that can lead to concussions. During an impact, the Mips low friction layer allows the helmet to slide 10-15 millimeters in all directions, reducing some of the rotational motion to the brain vs. helmets without Mips.
VT Helmet Rating
The Bern Major earned a 5-star safety rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, the highest possible rating on this test. Through a series of impact testing, the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab calculates a STAR score (Summation of Tests for the Analysis of Risk), which sums the exposure-weighted risks for common cyclist head impact scenarios and their corresponding concussion risks. Using 6 impact locations at 2 different velocities, the STAR equation evaluates 12 impact conditions representative of cycling accidents.
