Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

One of the reasons that kamikaze pilots wear helmets is the fact that they are still pilots and it is kind of hallmark. Another is that if they are going to die in the case of turbulence or accident before they reach their target, a helmet can safe their lives. It can also be because they are trying not to show the intention of suicide. By wearing helmets they pretend to be normal pilots.

In my opinion it is also because they hope that they will survive and return safely.
