MIPS is used to reduce the rotational forces to the brain in the case of an oblique impact. Smith helmets are created to absorb direct impacts very efficiently and when combined with MIPS, Smith helmets absorb oblique forces better by allowing a small rotation of the outer shell relative to the liner.

When you fall to the ground at an angle rotational forces are generated. A helmet integrating MIPS technology creates a sliding layer between the outer shell and the head.

This allows the helmet's outer shell to slide relative to the head when hitting the ground, so the rotational force is decreased, reducing the potential to damage your brain. You can check out images of strain levels on the manufacturers website. Just type in "MIPS" in the search bar and scroll down to the section on MIPS. Images on the website show simulated deformation of the brain from angled impact when the user is wearing a helmet with and without MIPS.
