Well in some cases, helmets does make you more likely to crash, but that's usually down to the person, some people feel very confident after simply putting a helmet on and end up overcompensating themselves while riding their bike, i.e. cornering a little too quickly, taking smaller gap etc.
that only if you ride under the illusion that you'll be nice and safe with a piece of foam on your head.
