You can break bones falling off even a stationary bike, yes, it matters. People step out in front of you at walking speed wearing headphones and cause crashes that result in not so minor injuries - especially if you're transferring your momentum into the pedestrian and their head hits the concrete. That's without even considering damage to bikes and equipment. Helmets need replacing after a single impact.

You're out of your mind if you think bikes are only really ridden by toddlers? And even then, what a great experience for toddlers to have preventable crashes

I never said bikes in general are ridden by toddlers, just push bikes. They don't tend to have the strength to push very hard. Also doubt they'd be ringing a bell for anything other than to hear it themselves anyway

A push bike is a term used interchangeably with non-electric bicycles here, I was not aware they're something else wherever you live

I'd not heard the term and had to look them up. The results I found had no pedals. They move by being pushed. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
