A lot of this is just growing and aging. Child bodies are great at flipping and spinning. Adult bodies less so. Older adult bodies break in ways that don't quite heal all the way.
Not just the flexibility, people underestimate the forces an adult body generates by spinning that mass at those distances. A kid couldn't break his own bones, but I could easily break a kid's bones.
No need to brag
When I was little I used to jump off of stairs to just skip a bunch because I could be bothered.
Now if I go down the stairs and I step off the last one a little wrong My whole day is ruined.
Sometimes I jump a little off the last step and hope I can ruin my day in exciting new ways (strangely and not because of the internet at all, but because of beans lately for the most part)
Most of it is not aging, it's sitting on your ass all day and not using your body. Yeah, it's easier for kids but we simply stop moving our bodies and then we unlearn all those precious abilities.
