HAHA. Excellent point. I think mine started to evolve, and then it decided there was no point because there wasn't a hole back there for it to see out of. Should have cut a hole in my helmet just in case. Kind of like my ear piercing closing up from lack of use. OK, just kidding. I'm too pain averse to have pierced ears.
On a serious note, I'm amazed at how much a person can tell about what someone else is thinking by looking at the back of their helmet. For example, on a checkride, when I give someone an engine failure directly over a perfectly landable field, and I see their helmet fail to turn from side to side or tip forward so their eyeballs can see straight down, I know we are going into that cornfield at 12:00 because that's all they can see. They need to do what fighter pilots learned they had to do to survive long ago. Turn their head and look around.

Why then don't fighter pilots have eyes in the back of their heads.
Would really help survival !!!!
