Not wearing a motorcycle helmet is stupid, but I can see the case for not riding a helmet while riding a bicycle.

I recall a similar article, although I think it went something like those that wear helmets feel safer so they engage in riskier activites that negate the advantages of wearing the helmet.
So wear a helmet, but don't think it makes you invincible I think was the moral of the story.
