Default can i fly

wearing a motorcycle helmet
the usual arguement ref burkka's etc may not swing as that can be classed as riligous but as it can class as a item of clothing who are they to say if i can wear myhelmet on a flight
plus if the planes going down every little bit helps

so go on some smart cookie infom me why i can not wear a helmet on a plane


it would also improve my looks

You'd have to put it on after the gate (identity check). Then it might count as hand luggage, some airlines restrict you to one item.
BTW a burkka isn't religious its cultural.

Way up to the sky?

Yes you can. You hang in there cupcake, you're special. Just 'cos you lick windows and occasionally crap yourself, I don't care. Go for it. You CAN fly.

I imagine you could take it onboard in your hand luggage, then place it on your bonce during takeoff. I don't think the crew would be happy about it but I'm not sure either that they'll be able to explain why :P
