I saw the article and the claim; what I didn't see was real data to prove that claim based on the types of helmets being used. Impact data for a sportbike helmet is going to be different than that for a mountain bike helmet or a road helmet, and much more so with football and hockey helmets which also use MIPS.

But how big of a hit does it need to be? Does low impact energy still go through to your head? How effective is MIPS if the helmet basically has one point to retain it (chin strap)? Does it need to wrap to the base of the skull (more of a full head coverage) to be secure enough to have a benefit? To be candid, the Bicycling article just confirms that organizations aren't keeping up to date, and there are new ideas out there - it doesn't really tell you if MIPS is actually beneficial to me.
