There are other risks with pedals. Have you ever been chopped by a meat tenderizer type BMX pedal? Have you ever lost your footing while going over a jump with platforms?
There are many reasons why for many different things. We all do what we will.
Remembering that this is the 50+ section I find your post to be off topic since it is aimed at a much younger crowd.
Geezers do some dumb things to be sure but I have a hard time visualizing them doing bmx jumps!
