That's actually a pretty good question. I have no idea.

So they have a better chance of not dying in the crash and being able to do it again.

But they lose honor when they don't die.

Look more like warm fuzzy hats to me. But the better question remains - why the FUCK are they wielding swords

they wore those bomber hats actually, if you mean the japanese ones, and, they wore them to stay warm on the ride, might as well be comfortable your last few minutes

[Vault13dweller]

Why aren't you wearing pants?

[Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud]

Because they need to make it to their destination without dying from asphyxiation or getting too much carbon dioxide in their blood. Their masks attach to their helmets.

Because 42.

This man is wise.

Oh yeah, being above 10000 feet too. Need a helmet so your brains dont pop prematurely.

[AlbinoJim]

To look good before dying?

Who knows

[Dawnslayer]

If a kamikaze pilot doesn't have to ram his plane into a ship, he'll probably want to survive the battle. Suicide runs weren't a guarantee...it was just highly likely.

And the swords are a cultural tradition, most liekly ceremonial. I doubt every pilot carried his wakizashi wherever he went.

For mid-air swordfighting, fool.

[Makakaov]

Actually... They don't wear helmets. Only in training. In "the Day of Honor", they were wearing just stupid bandanas. I don't even want to know who came up with this stupid theory about helmets, and i'm sure not author of this topic, cause i've seen it earlier somewhere.

Because helmets make them look cool and they want to die looking cool

[Wolfos]

because those kamikaze planes had jet engines that could go up to 1000 KM/H

Best friggin vid i have ever seen on ABS.

It so they dont die in their cockpits before getting to the destination?

[Tott]

Because it looks cool you ridiculous gimp.

When you're dead you don't care about honor I can tell you that.

Actually the cockpits were welded shut as to make sure that they would do what what they were supposed to, they had no choice.

Thats what you think O_O

[XxXLoveJacobXxX]

So they could be treated like real heroes. If it was me, I would feel a bit left out without a helmet. I mean the way you put it, they might as well have nothing since they're just going to die.

But srsly, idk

[gamejunkie]

Maybe its just a fashion statement.
