Nope. I've said or implied it in previous posts here and elsewhere. These were private conversations, feel free to contact them. I'm sure they'll be as forthcoming with you. I'm not in the habit of providing detailed private conversations without permission.
First time for this as well. Again, care to share?
Same as above.
They reviewed MIPS? And what was said?
short version:
1. standard helmets do virtually nothing to prevent DAI injuries but are very good at preventing penetrations and mitigating fractures
2. MIPS is extremely promising and they are all for it. And "it's about time," is a common response.
3. TBI is much more severe, has much more signifcant long term health consequence than previously thought. Much higher emphasis needs to be placed on protection and avoidance of DAI (oblique hit) damage. Another way of saying it - even mild TBI especially repetitively, has long term health consequences.
If all I have to go on is a design company making a video, I'd call that inadequate.
No, it's all about how motivated one is to find out. That is also a personal choice. I was/am very motivated to figure it out.
