During their flights, before they crash, they still needed to be able to see clearly and to be secure in their planes in order to navigate and control the plane properly.

Good point Sherlock!! Pretty pointless effort putting the helmet on and safety goggles. They would have been better off wearing what the Sumai wrestlers wear!! The whole kamakazi-thing appears useless aswell! What rewards did those poor chaps ever receive? Thanks?? Try putting that on a dead-man's c.v.

The leather helmets contained their earphones and the goggles stopped them getting the wind in their eyes. Why else?

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

The Japanese culture was made up of honour, heritage and rituals. The helmets of that time did little more then hold your hair and ear pieces in place. They wore their helmets as they did their short swords because it was part of their uniforms.
some great reading here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze

So they did not injure themselves 'prior to' reaching their targets, and thus enable them to carry out their tasks without 'other issues' clouding their ability.
How's that for an answer. Eh?

Maybe they didn't want to smack their lil' noggins before they got to their target so they were *extra* careful!

To stop the wind messing up their hair.

They have to get to their targets first, right?
