The outfits are not as safe as wearing actual safety equipment but it doesn't look cool to wear safety gear..
It would be like a white water kayakER wearing a pirate uniform and hat instead of a dry suit and helmet.

Again, leather jackets etc are very popular biker attire. It is usual/normal.
Is pirate attire even remotely as usual among boat people?
Yeah, safety equipment may be safer, but as you know - style plays a part in everything. For example high heels are not as safe and not as comfortable as flats, but woman wear them - they sacrifice some comfort/safety for style.
And that is very usual/common human behavior.
