I know people say this but, hits weren't as hard then. One of the drawbacks to putting 30 pounds of armor on guys is that they 100% intend to use it. Take that away and they're going to keep continuing to hit like they do now.

That's probably true. But I'd still prefer helmets that are actually designed to reduce the hit to your head than have less force behind the hit
