I'd almost see that as a typical gifted thing maybe not just 2e or maybe I have weird gifted kids blush! Dd#1 didn't learn to ride her bike until she was 10 -- the same year she was in 6th grade. Her concern that she was going to "fracture" her hip if she fell seemed to be a big hold up.
Haha...Or my 5 year old telling me he doesn't want to play t-ball because he might trip and fall really hard on his head and crack his skull.
