If ruling out risks by a priori is a solution, why wear a helmet at all? Maybe you won't hit your head when you fall. Maybe you'll land in water or on a satin pillow (low friction).

Not ruling out anything but pointing out MIPS’ benefits will be poorer than portrayed in the lab in many realistic situations.

Sure, buy all the safety equipment you can afford that has any possible benefit.

What’s better: a $15 more expensive bike light or a $15 more expensive helmet with MIPS?
