Serious question.

I was cycling up through Finsbury Park on Sunday and there where a few sides playing American Football. Made me wonder.

Why do they wear all the body armour and the helmets ?

Rugby is quite a contact sport and they don't.

I especially wonder about the helmet. I headbutting allowed ?
