The article sez the Virginia Tech test showed MIPS to be 'effective', but:
1) Snell testing has not found MIPS to be effective.
2) Some non-MIPS helmets have performed at the top of the Virginia Tech tests.

So:
a) What happens in real-world accidents?
b) How is that event accurately modeled in a controlled, repeatable test?
