Perhaps this design might have application in motorsport where the
innermost helmet liner is more effectively coupled to the wearer's
head, but typical retention straps on bicycle helmets already allow
for plenty of "float" between helmet and skull.

At least as it relates to bikes, I think the chief benefit is likely
to be providing the mips people with a nice sinecure.


POC MIPS are basically designed for freestyle downhill skiing, I
think, but could find a good application in e.g. downhill bicycling.
(This opinion from someone who's crashed more different ways than most
people.)
