Why did kamakazi pilots wear helmets?

Because they were idiots in the first place...?

They don't intentionally put on their helmet, the put it on their bats, and then adjust their helmet with the same hand.  Some baseball players are really grimy and don't get new helmets very often.  You would think they could afford new helmets or a tip to the bat boy to clean it off.

The helmet is to protect the hair my dear. \n\nPS: As for the Hair problem, ICC has already removed him.

I guess you mean to ask about helmets. Caps were wore right from the begining. It wasnt until late 60s or early 70s that people started wearing helmets.

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

The Russian or Polish or American babushka is worn when it is cold, or as an alternative to some other head covering.  Many Muslims and some Christians or Jews wear a similar head covering as a matter of modesty or respect.

there have been racers who wear glasses under their helmets.\nthe thing about short sighted drivers is that their eyeballs are slightly elongated, and under high G-forces, the retina may detatch from the eye. thats why in the air-force, there is a maximum limit for short sighted pilots

There are pilots on the ground.  They fly by remote control.  Read more about it below.\n\nVery, very few can fly without some human intervention.

Yep! He should were a helmet, everyone should, he could have been killed. We have to wear seatbelts.

My guess is that the "furrowed angry expression" is a result of the stress from playing the game of football rather than a result of wearing the helmet.

Back in the 60's? We used to see those blimp things a lot then (airships they call them now) the army and air-force used them a lot for paratroop training and weather observation. They were very quiet unless you were directly under one. When they turned away from you they just disappeared because of the optical effect of the skin they were made from, plus they were mostly grey so they blended into the clouds very easily. We lived near a base where they flew three of them from and they often seemed to disappear (sometimes as you were watching them!). This would be my guess!

Sounds like a crash and burn case to me. Oh by the way the Japanese pilots did not wear crash helmets. They wanted to die with their heads wrapped in sashes with their family names written on them. This way they can die and honor their family name. Thanks. LJK.
