Thank god that doesn't apply in Australia, the operators here leave that up to the pilot, not enforce petty rules, probably 1/4 of the pilots I know wear helmets, mostly Alpha's but some Gentex and a couple of Gallet, headsets , Noise cancelling David Clarks with gel ear cups fitted to aircraft , most private head sets Bose and Lightspeed.
