HELMET (THE EXPLANATION)
OK, maybe you do need an explanation. A helmet essentially covers the head. That’s its job, to protect your noggin (some of you may already have picked up on the reasoning behind the ‘no helmet rule’ – clever people). So, what happens if you get bitten and turn into a zombie? Your head is protected! How do you kill a zombie? Go for the brain! Thus, you have made the job of other survivors twice as hard because your brain is protected by a helmet!
Of course, you may argue that if you were bitten you would have had the foresight to remove your helmet before you reanimated. And my argument would be, if you were bitten, why wear a helmet in the first place? Because it obviously didn’t do its job as you had to remove it because you were bitten!
If any more reason not to wear a helmet were needed, consider that not only will they interfere with peripheral vision but also that most of them cover your ears meaning they will affect your hearing. Now, as I said before – no helmets! So let’s just leave it at that and move on.
