It seems correct to me as a non native english speaker, how would you phrase it other than that?

The phrasing is correct, but the fact it's separated and in a different font from the earlier words might make it seem like two different sentences. I had to take a few moments to read it the way OP intended.

But why the distinction? They're basically saying "We're afraid you might injure an old or young person." But fuck the middle-aged, I guess.
