^^^ This. We accept risk every time we go out on a ride. Anything I can do to to help mitigate that risk with out dramatically impacting my enjoyment or being prohibitively expensive, I'm happy to do. Unlike when they first debuted, it's easy to find a MIPS helmet at most price points, which means I'm all in. Primary bike and ski helmets for the wife and I are MIPS.
