Ya, like someone said kind of. Their mission is not just to commit suicide, but by doing damage to their enemy using their aircraft. They have to wear the helmet just in case something hits them on the head on the way there. If they die BEFORE they get to their suicide hit, then they never got the mission completed. Not only do they take their own life, in so-called "honour for their country", they will hopefully take out and kill as many opposing members as possible.

Simple.
