You can in-fact wear a full cage in the NHL. The reason why players do not wear a cage is because it obstructs vision.

You cannot tackle another player with your helmet. You can in fact tackle another player leading with your helmet...the rule is that you cannot make helmet to helmet contact with another player. That being said it is unsafe to lead with your helmet in any situation due to injury probability, you risk neck and head injuries when you lead with your helmet.
the only time a runner can remove his helmet is in the event that the helmet has impaired the runners vision. in that case the umpires would have the decision of the removal being within regulations or not. if it is not then the runner would automatically be out.Another answer: In MLB, there is no rule prohibiting player from removing his helmet. However, rules in other leagues (college, high school, youth, etc.) may have such a rule. Consult your organizations rule book.
this is not necessarily a rule, it is for safety. If a player loses a helmet, it is the most important and protective piece of equipment. losing gloves or a stick is not as important, or dangerous for that matter.
I think the rule is that you need to be 14 to drive a full size quad on the streets in mexico but you cant drive it on the hi way. Noah.A.Andrews
In Greek mythology, Hades received his helmet of darkness as a gift from the Cyclops during the Titanomachy. The helmet granted him invisibility and a fearsome presence, allowing him to rule the underworld and enforce order among the dead.
This is known as the Emmitt Smith rule. He was fond of taking his helmet off after scoring a touchdown to rile up (or taunt) the crowd...and perhaps for better photo opportunities. The league considered this to be too much showmanship and created a rule that no player is allowed to remove his helmet on the field during the game (except during timeouts and between quarters). There is no penalty if a helmet comes off accidentally.
if you cant do the time ,dont do the crime
