Well he fractured his skull and it could have killed him, so I can see why he wears it. He's also not been the same keeper since that, even if his confidence has improved.

Yevgeny Giner: "Honda in" Milan "is not for sale. Not for 5 or 10 million »
As a result, on July 1 the Italians offered us to exchange for the rental of the Honda player of the second team, "Milan". What do you think would be our response?And then the Italians tried to get a Honda the most exotic ways, "- said Giner.

The thing is, it doesn't really do anything with regards to his injury. It's purely a confidence builder (it might be that he himself acknowledges that).
It's a (perhaps thicker than regs) beefed up scrum cap from rugby and I know from personal experience that they do nothing but protect from minor bruising and scratches. In fact, at least one study has shown padding such as that actually increased the amount of injuries among rugby players - most likely due to an inflated and false sense of protection causing them to go in harder. Obviously, it goes with the story that one sport is a bit more physical than the other but the general concept of foam padding remains.

Scrum caps in rugby are really only to prevent cauliflower ears, as far as I know. That contact is almost exclusively made in the scrum, and much less so in general play. You gets knees and boots in the head in rucks, but no one is flying in head first.
I've noticed a few backs are now wearing them, but I would guess that is indeed for confidence reasons, and to protect their pretty boy looks.
