i heard somewhere that, as the helmet was not padded, they were bullet shaped so that they would not absorb the full hit - blades wouldnt direct hit as much

but with horns, they would catch anything that struck the helmet - causing major damage to the cranium - er something

who is the farging icehole that put horns on vikings in the first place? just some fruity opera herb?
