Because age is a factor, in those cases where persons dove for decades but never got bent, then perhaps due to age, weight (that comes with age), injuries (as bones become more frail, and other bodily problems occur more frequently) , these factors and others cause them to get that first hit.

I was not aware that age as a factor has been proven, other than the fact that there may be an increased obesity and lack of physical conditioning with age.
AFAIK studies purely on the age factor are inconsistent.
