At one point (years ago), pilots in the offshore industry were discouraged by aviation advisors from wearing helmets (and virtually none wore them). For the reason being, if the passengers saw pilots wearing a flight helmet, they'd want to wear one also. Meaning, one provided to them for free and not bought by them. Easier for pilots not to wear them than supply one of correct fit for each passenger. Anyway, that was the thought process.
