Took a wild fall this week, comrades. Fractured ankle, fractured wrist, strained LCL. Lot of hurt in my body - the one thing that didn’t hurt was my head. I was totally coherent despite yard saling so hard that the even the GoPro on the helmet went flying. Today I picked up my MIPS helmet and realized how insane it was that I didn’t get a concussion (or worse). So… yeah wear your helmet and pay the extra nickel for MIPS! It’ll save ya life.
skiermanClaims MIPS saved his life, shows pictures of the helmet's shell and EPS foam.
You fucking idiots don't even know what MIPS is, do you? LOLOL fucking gapers.
you can see the yellow slip layer thru the vent in the first pic... not saying the cracked shell and foam shows the MIPS function, but more so the force of impact OP is trying to express
CatdickBojanglesHave you started head butting trees to review helmets yet or what?
Hey guys, jaded gear reviews here to show you guys the smith mirage ski helmet with mips, if you hit your head with it on you will definitely start seeing things. I've concluded it's absolute shit, wayyy to hot and heavy for mtb.

Oh yeah because that's what he intended for sure, to say MIPS saved his life only to show a little bit of it through a vent in a single image. This fucking idiot doesn't know what MIPS is and it appears half of you morons lack basic reading comprehension skills.

Good evening you fucking asswipe. OP is attributing his injury for not being worse because of his helmet which is equipped with MIPS. We know nothing about his impact other than what he says, if the man thinks this technology helped him let him believe it and spread the good word.

Hey tinkerbell, you've got some shit on your lip. His thread literally reads, "MIPS SAVED MY LIFE" and proceeds to take pictures of the shell and foam of his helmet, neither of which has anything to do with MIPS.
Don't you have something better to do like getting underpaid for the same amount of work as your male counterparts? Fucking thin-skinned idiot.

You’re seriously suck a kill joy. MIPS is within his helmet, it’s implied it’s part of the helmets construction, and he showed his helmet. It makes sense.
I’m a little busy sucking dick for that but check in next week when I get my raise 🥳

Bro how dumb are you? I’m saying I hit my head hard enough that the shell and foam completely fractured and I didn’t get a concussion… what were you expecting to see pictures of? A picture of the inner lining “working” days later? An animated dateline-like recreation of the crash to see the MIPS in action? You are dumb as fuck

Skierman had a bad crash on the bunny hill as a child and hurt his head now he is retarded and can’t think right so let’s just keep this in mind guys. He’s just a little bit special @skierman.

it's one thing that skierman acts like a shitty robot made by aliens to poorly mimic humans, the concerning part is that according to the votes there are multiple people who read his posts and think "yup good call." get your shit together guys!
TheDriftingDadGetting this thread back on track...Glad to see you're ok! I had a nasty mountain bike crash where a helmet definitely saved my life.
Please post the go pro footage when you can
I wish I had it. I was racing out to grab last chair at Beaver after working most of the day. To get to the lift from my buddies place you catwalk to Cresta on arrowhead side. Turned out Cresta was closed because snowcats had been trekking up and down it - crazy chop, huge ruts, all iced out. I tried to stay left and get down it as quickly as I could… turns out there’s a service road on the left side they were still using that had huge snow drifts hiding it and kinda blending in with all the chop. By the time I saw how sketchy it was I couldn’t really get a good turn in to avoid it and had to go over the drifts. Dropped 5 ft and hit the second one awkwardly. Ski got caught in a rut and I went double eject front flip to fucked.
