FOX Flight na PRPUS cyklistická helma S (52-54cm) black/yellow

Safe on the pump track or dirt jump

The Flight Pro adds a loop to the classic skater, dirt jump and BMX helmet in terms of protection, performance and comfort. Featuring MIPS™ technology, a specially designed impact protection system to mitigate rotational forces in the event of a fall, the Flight Pro's redesigned internal shape sits lower on your head for improved overall fit, while the 360 degree retention system allows you to to adapt the comfort even more precisely to your needs. The FIDLOCK buckle can be opened with a simple click, so you can remove the helmet with one hand movement. Two antimicrobial XT2® comfort liners are also included, so you always have a spare to hand.

The helmet is also suitable for e-bikes, electric scooters and monowheels. The Flight Pro offers a high level of safety for recreational athletes and adventure seekers who want to improve their safety without compromising on aesthetics.

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

MIPS
The MIPS® safety system was developed to provide additional protection for helmets in numerous accidents. In certain impact situations, the MIPS system can reduce dangerous forces that might otherwise be transmitted to the helmet wearer's head.

1. Conventional helmets are designed and tested for a straight impact. In most cases, however, the impact is at an angle, which can cause rotational movements for the head.

2. This rotational movement can cause brain injury.

3. The low-friction shell is designed to help reduce rotational movement of the head in certain cases of angled impact.

Straight impact - oblique impact

The brain is typically more sensitive to rotational movement than linear movement because it has a shear strength similar to that of water or gel. When rotational movement causes different parts of the brain to move at different times, the tissues can be stretched, causing concussions or other brain injuries.

Rotational motion is a common cause of concussion and more serious brain injury from an oblique impact to the head. The MIPS system consists of a low-friction shell that is fixed inside the helmet. The low-friction shell is designed to slide slightly inside the helmet in the event of an accident, allowing forces to be directed away from the head. It is said to help reduce the risk of brain injuries.

Most conventional helmets are designed for a straight impact, but in most cases the impact is at an angle. The low-friction shell can reduce the rotational forces of an oblique impact.

Security system with the brain as a model

Unlike conventional helmets, which are primarily designed and tested for a straight impact, the low-friction shell of the MIPS system mimics the brain's own protection system against rotational movement. The cerebrospinal fluid is our natural protective system that allows the brain to move offset to the skull.
