why did kamakazi pilots wear crash helmets? I hope this is the proper catagory?

Because the point of the Kamikaze was to sacrifize yourself and die only if the bullets ran out, to kill the american ships or airplanes in the process.\nThere's no fun in dying for no reason. They were only willing to die fighting the Americans, and not by crashing onto the ground or bumping their head against the cockpit glass.\nThat would not have been heroic, but stupid.

You're right most of them are required not to engage in risky behaviors. But who defines what risky behavior is? And how risky can an action be if millions of adults engage in it everyday? How risky can it be to ride a motorcycle without a helmet if our leaders in the state legislature saw to repeal the law requiring them? How risky can it be if when the owners of your contract find out that you ride without a helmet, they don't tell you that your contract requires you to wear one, but instead suggest that you wear one?\n\nWhile the Steelers aren't to blame for his injuries and any way they affect his career, they share the blame if his loss affects their season. It was nearly a year ago that Kellen Winslow crashed and everyone made a stink about Roethlisberger not wearing a helmet. The Steelers could have said "This behavior violates your contract. You must wear a helmet." \n\nThat said, Ben Roethlisberger is an idiot. Common sense should tell him that riding a bike at high speeds with your head unprotected is dangerous. He should have even more incentive to protect his body since it's how he makes his money.

Im not sure about soldiers wearing the uniforms, but many pilots did during the early phase of the war. Many USAF pilots frustrated with their own countrys lack of action left and came to the UK to join the RAF.

Those kinds of things can really affect people mentally. If he can get over it and not play scared, then he may be okay. If his legs are okay as they say, then maybe not. Also, he could have some permanent brain damage and that could affect his decision making. Overall, riding without a helmet is just plain stupid.

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

The people who wear hardhats are for the most part men.  Moreover, they are manly men.  So it would depend on the designs.  I don't think anyone would wear a hardhat with unicorns and rainbows (except maybe the construction worker in the Village People).  If you airbrushed say the West Coast Choppers logo or some such masculine thing, then you might get some takers.

1. General opinion is that chinese acrobats (or nutters!) used frames with silk to jump off high buildings as a stunt to entertain.  The first practical use of a parachute (as we would recognise it) was to escape damaged barrage balloons in WW1.\n2. Skydiving is a worldwide sport with many many lines of developement from materials to diving techinques ... a complete design free-for-all :-)\n3. basic equipment is a harness, main parachute and a reserve parachute - altimeters, helmets, gloves, automatic activation devices etc are used depending on the circumstances.\n4. Most important thing to consider is safety.  Jump safe both in equipment and attitude.  In practical terms height is your friend as it equals time to deal with possible problems.  Train well, listen well, look around and never ever ever assume you know it all. \n5. Skydiving in its most basic form involves leaving the aircraft and falling in a controlled manner.  This can be extended to other disciplines such as inverted body postions, freestyle displays and relative work (formations with others).  The part under canopy (parachute) while not 'skydiving' as such also has diciplines such as CRW (formations with others) and accuracy cometitions.\n\nHope this helps and blue skies =8-0    (<<< skydive smilie)

Why should society pay for health care for someone who wants to take risks? Statistics prove that helmets save lives.I think the insurance rates for someone who chooses to ride w/o a helmet should be outrageous. I personally have seen three guys die in the last 8 months, who would have probably lived, had they worn a helmet.

Wear a helmet so your head is protected when your crash because you are worrying over the guy!  Just kidding!  Relax, focus on the race, and when it is over you can focus on the guy.

This is the current european safety/manufacturing standard for helmets.\n\nThe toughest testing requirements for helmets are currently imposed by CE-tests, including impact damping capabilities, effectiveness of the strap system as well as range of vision.

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

Hello,\n\nHere is the answer to your question.\n\nGraham Yallop was a famous Australian Cricketer. He was the first to wear a helmet .vs West Indies at Bridgetown on 17th March 1978 and later England’s Dennis Amiss popularized it in Test Cricket.\n\nThere is nobody in particular from India who started this. It got popularized and thus, all the Countries started using the Helmet in Cricket. India is one of these countries.\n\nHope this information might help you.\n\nSreekar.

The answers are correct.  Craig McTavish was the last player to not wear a helmet.  There were several players who didn't wear helmets after the rule change came in and they were allowed to continue due to a grandfather clause that allowed any player who did not wear a helmet before the rule change, could continue without one.  It was discouraged though, as it was a liability issue.
