Sure. Except there was no nitpicking. OP said/implied "Don't jump on a bike high, you might fail to balance it". Answer is: one of the least likely accidents following riding a bike high would be to (simply) tip over mid-ride due to not being able to balance it.

Next thing I know, you're nitpicking about how technically every action which directly or indirectly keeps a bike upright is "balancing". While true and pedantic in a lovely way, what you said is useless.

The Earth is layered, with the density changing as you go closer to the center

But in this case we're not only falling towards the center, but moving away from it as well. If we assume earth's layering to be similar in both halves, why aren't the effects you mentioned during the fall compensated for during the rise?
