About the real life example about helmets blocking peripheral vision and causing soldiers to get shot.
Most modern helmets don't actually block peripheral vision, but do distort and block sound, which does reduce situational awareness. Wearing tactical goggles, night vision goggles or gas masks however does indeed block peripheral vision.
