Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Question

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Answer 1

Besides keeping their head warm, the headphones for their radio were in the leather "helmet". They did use radio to coordinate their attacks.

Answer 2

So when they whack themselves  every time they see this question,they won't hurt their head because people keep asking this question.

Answer 3

Congratulations.  This is the 102nd time this question has been asked.

Well done with your continuity of thinking.

Sash.

Answer 4

This is a old question and is no longer funny.

Answer 5

They might not have thought about it.

Answer 6

AHHHHHHHHHHHH Make it stop!!!! NO..

Because they were retarded and keep them from getting further brain damage.. j/k

Answer 7

Fallen Angel,

They were aviators. Aviators act and think differently than the rest of us. The fact that they were going off to die would not have anything to do with whether or not they wore helmets.

Answer 11

If they were to hit their head and knock themselves out, they would never be able to hit their target.  remember, these guys are flying through the air at speeds sometimes exceeding the speed of sound.  it isn't because they think it will help them survive the suicide attack.  it is just to stay conscious during the flight.

Answer 12

Because their planes weren't made out of the 'indestructible' black box material.

Answer 17

kamikaze wore leather helmets back those days, so i would say to keep their head warm! and theres no heater in their planes also. thats why they wore thick jackets!

Answer 18

2 reasons, keeps your head warm (wouldn't freeze your head off

before you got to your target) and the ear peace for the radio was in it.

Answer 19

This question has been asked so many time,they wore a leather helmet with earphones for radio transmissions.
