That is simply not true. The reaction/inertial force is a function of the juggling action and has nothing to do with the pins. A juggler can generate the same inertial forces with or without pins. It's all in the the acceleration of the arms and upper body. And since juggling is a continuous process the inertial forces are there throughout the entire cycle.
There is also the consideration that walking adds to the inertial forces.
