“To the victor belong the spoils.” The history of mankind’s evolution from simple but smart, canoe crafting sailor to modern rocket designing astronaut is littered and fraught with a history of violence, war and survival. It was those who battled hardest and longest and with proven endurance and relative longevity that made it through to fight another day. Survival generally doesn’t happen without one’s head and therefore helmets and other protective headwear has been popular since we first learned to manipulate steel and iron.
