I'm a physician and have never heard anyone advocate that wearing a helmet should increase the risk of damage in an accident.
This sounds rather similar to the very feeble arguments one hear from car drivers that hate using the seat belt. The psychology here is very simple, some people are too weak to accept the fact that what they do are inherently dangerous. There are also the motorcycle gangs that do not like what the mandatory helmet does to their beloved manlyhood. In fact, some claim that their dandruff becomes lethal if they have to wear a helmet.
