When I was a kid I was always moving around, going place. Incredibly unsafe, but nobody in my neighborhood died young at least.

The point I want to make is that I have stronger bone density as a direct result of physical activity while young, and I worry about the younger generation now who won't have that.

Yeah same, don't forget about reflexes. If I accidentally fall, somehow my hands would always hit the ground first

That's the result of being a mammal. It's the same reason cats land on their feet, evolution. It has nothing to do with upbringing.

A lor of people who grew up working the fields have now osteoporosis, so that's not exactly true.

It's still true regardless. Bone Density has a direct correlation with physical activity, especially for the young.
