they found it harder to battle with the wieght
No the vikings did not have horns on their hats. A artist thought it showed who they were so he gave them horned hats. And ever sense people think that is true. Scientist have proven that that is false.
They never did
No.
No. Vikings did not wear animal horns on their battle helmets. This was a depiction that began with mythic descriptions in 19th century Sweden. Horns may have been part of ritual costumes as in the Teutonic religions.
They didn't. Well, at least not in battle. A horned helmet might LOOK good, but the horns would make it real easy to knock the helmet off. And if you had it strapped on tight, a good strike would either knock the horn off, or break your neck. Horned headgear might have been used in rituals for some sort of symbolic value though.
Vikings typically wore tunics, trousers, and woolen cloaks. They also wore tall boots, belts with metal buckles, and sometimes helmets with horns. Their clothing was often made from wool, linen, or animal skins.
Everyone has to wear a helmet no matter what age! :)
any one under 21 MUST wear a helmet, but anyone over has to have insurance but doesn't have to wear a helmet
It depends on your age. If you are 16 you have to wear a helmet. But if you want your head to get blown off that's on you. It is safe to wear a helmet for protection.
It is up to you, however the manufactures suggest you should wear a helmet.
Many probably didn't wear helmets at all. Artwork from that era shows roughly half of Vikings in battle bareheaded, while the rest wear unremarkable dome-shaped or conical helmets. Low class or poor vikings wore leather helmets that didn't last. A few metal ones have been included iron "spectacle" helmets, so called because they have bronze eye-and-nose guards that look a bit like a pair of glasses. In general a viking owned only a pound or two of iron fo r his weapons and armor, so equipment was a t a minimum. One thing that they did not wear was a helmet with eagle wings or cows horns. That affectation is reserved for opera vikings and cheesy movies made on a tight budget.
It is never illegal to wear a helmet. But sometimes it's illegal not to wear one.
