Would the following activities cause this bike to split in half over the course of 6 months?

  • Multiple laps on a beginner MTB trail with moderate jumps
  • Jumping multiple times on a 13" inch ramp and landing on a concrete sidewalk
  • Attempting multiple wheelies

This is a youth bike. The bike split in half during a normal, cruising ride. According to the youth cyclist, the handle bar started wobbling before it split. Luckily, the cyclist only sustained bruises on the chest, face, and hands, but otherwise, no broken bones.
