Why do kamakazi pilots wear helmets?

Recommended Posts

I would guess they would wears helmets the same reason other pilots would; for protection. Yeah, they're going for a suicide run, but if they died before they hit their target, they failed.

 

Agreed.

I don't know, I mean if you're going to kill yourself, why wear a helmet? What's the whole point?

 

When a kamikaze pilot died, he had to take a ship with him. Dying from a head injury before he reached his target would have been a failure. The helmet helped make sure the pilot survived till he could go after a target.
