why do kamikazee pilots wear helmets?

because if you do not wear your uniform you would be disgraced and kicked out of the Airforce and sent home without the helmet, then what do you got to say for yourself, as a complete failure. but seriously so he or she won't bump their heads on the dash.

Its not a superstition thing as much as it is a cosmetic thing.  Players who wear high socks do it as an alternative to tucking the pantlegs under the legs themselves.  This way there is extra padding by the knee as well as the socks are all the way up.  The look is solid, and the comfort of not having the pants moving all over is great.

Apparently, men stopped wearing hats, when the roofs of the cars got smaller.  I guess they got tired of taking them off all the time and having someone sit on them.  I think those old hats are coming back in style now, but with more color.  I see a few brave guys wear them.  I think some of them look pretty cool if done right

Marines in the Pacific Theatre in WWII generally wore olive-green combat fatigues or camouflage like in the link shown below.  The link below shows an actual uniform worn during the Battle of Iwo Jima.\n\nhttp://www.historicalimagebank.com/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album99&id=W2Au3_USMC_uniform_worn_on_Iwo_Jima\n\n\nTo get a better understanding, I strongly suggest you watch the movie "Windtalkers" starring Nicolas Cage.  The uniforms they use in that movie are identical to the one shown in the link below.  The island they invade in that movie is Saipan: Saipan was a prelude to the last great battle between U.S and Japanese forces in WWII, Iwo Jima.\n\nHere are a few screen shots from "Windtalkers"\n http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://thecia.com.au/reviews/w/images/windtalkers-5.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thecia.com.au/reviews/w/windtalkers.shtml&h=400&w=714&sz=88&tbnid=aJiWoej29_HiPM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=138&hl=en&start=6&prev=/images%3Fq%3DWindtalkers%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

There is a real sign of intelligence writing you to tell you they don't know or giving you a stupid answer.  The Japanese culture was made up of honor, heritage and rituals. The helmets of that time did little more then hold your hair and ear pieces in place. They wore their helmets as they did their short swords because it was part of their uniforms.\n\nNote: Are you aware the Russians, Germans and even the US to an extent had a Kamikaze group? The Russians used to use their props to cut into the tails of German fighters. \n\nThanks for the chance to help. God Bless You and the Southern People.

...yes...and the base of the beak and most of the skull is extensively 'honeycombed'.\nThere have been attempts to mimic this structure in the design of crash helmets, crumple zones, etc.

also the military uses it, and pilots

In the Roman era, soldiers often put decorations on top of their helmets.  These were to make the soldier look bigger and scarier in combat, and I suppose to look good before the cheering crowds back at the forum.  I don't think that they had any particular practical function.

because they're really hot. in some racecars, the temperature can reach 130 F and you can loose 10 pounds in one race. crazy but i love it. many start to see double. they have now(thank god) installed something to drink inside the helmet so that they get LESS dehydrated. Those guys are sooooo great! think about it...

There should be no law for or against helmets. Helmets only protect a person in a accident of 15-20 miles per hour. Any faster and the helmet could do far more damage. (Small pieces of plastic in the brains is not helpful).

Well it depends on what type of plane you are being ejecting from.  Most modern fighters jets require you t owear a helmet and be strapped in good and tight to your seat so in case you get knocked out upon ejection you have a chance for survival.  The most important part though is making sure your parachute opens.

Get a new helmet. Why take a chance and endanger yourself more?

Nope a lot of people didn't wear helmets and they turned out just fine.  You can have accidents walking down the street.  Should we start wearing all this safety gear?  Nah I dont think so.

It is my understanding that the NFL has been requiring players to wear helmets for many years now.  They are standard equipment.\n\nPS. Patriots rule.

Lol..they probably have a little "pee cup" or something.  It's probably hooked into their suits so they can "relieve themselves" when they need too.  My boyfriend works on jets in the Marine Corp and he says that the pilots have something like that b/c they can't just land...especially when going cross-country. :)

radio headset was in the helmet
