It’s probably in case a bird flies into you or something.

If you get hit by an upwind, you don’t get knocked out

Landing can be rough but survivable and helmet ups your chances. Like if you hit a tree.

So when they dive headfirst into your wide gaping anus they don’t tear your sphincter

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

Fun Fact: You can skydive without a parachute but you can only do it once. The other benefit is that you'll be the first one on the ground. Remember, nobody has died of a fall.

It’s for when you are climbing in and out of the plane so you don’t bleed when you bump your head

The full face ones are quieter and don’t mess with your cheeks

Was doing a jump and a guy was trying to do a flip at the exit and hit his head on the back of the plane knocking himself out. He said he woke up around 10 seconds away from impact and pulled his emergency shoot.

It also significantly reduces noise. They can carry a sound device that goes off at multiple altitudes. People are moving 120+ mph, it doesn’t take much for a mid air collision to be serious.

Fun fact: if you get too close to someone when tracking it will suck you into their bubble
