It's all about the equipment. Dunking wears the rim down, and you'd hate for it to fail 10 minutes before game time.
I've seen broken fingers, cut fingers, sprained backs, twisted ankles and knees, a broken wrist,a broken leg, and a player knocked unconscious all because of attempted dunks.

I'm sure it's all about the equipment.
