Ergodyne Skullerz 8975-MIPS Class C Safety Helmet with MIPS Technology
The Skullerz 8975-MIPS Safety Helmet is a Class C Safety Helmet integrated with Mips® technology to increase worker head protection by reducing the effect of dangerous angled impacts. The Mips Elevate safety system is a low-friction layer that slides multi-directionally upon impact to reduce the transmission of rotational force to the head. Rotational forces can cause brain shear, a tearing of nerve fibers that can ultimately lead to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
Like other Skullerz Safety Helmets, this Mips helmet provides heavy-duty yet lightweight and comfortable head protection to shield the front, back, top and sides of the head from falls, dropped objects or bumping into stationary objects. The compact helmet design increases all-over impact protection and improves visibility, and a chin strap ensures the helmet remains secure to the wearers head upon impact or sudden movement.
Unlike traditional hard hats and safety helmets which are designed primarily to protect against direct impacts, this safety helmet features Mips technology for protection against angled impactsa common form of impact that occurs upon falling or contact. Integrated into the suspension, Mips Elevate is a low-friction layer that slides multi-directionally (10-15mm) to decrease the rotational energy transferred to the head upon angled impact.
