The extent to which a person is easily startled depends on numerous factors
Being startledis rarely ever fun… Take it from someone who jumps at close to any sound that is stronger than a snowflake hitting the ground. But it’s something few people have control over, especially bearing in mind the complexity of the reaction.
“If I put you in a situation where you feel unpleasant, anxious or nervous, you might have a heightened startle reflex,” Lipp explained, pointing out that the extent to which a person is startled depends largely on the situation they find themselves in. “Whereas if I put you in a state where you are feeling pleasant and I am showing you materials you like and find pleasant, the startle reflex is usually reduced.”

Filming people in private settings, especially for clout, is disturbing at best
Unfortunately, the news has covered quite a few cases of someone recording people in private settings, which is unlawful in most places. That likely means that was the stepdaughter to prank someone else in such a way, it might have had way stronger consequences than the ones she had to deal with.
To make matters worse, some people try to catch such situations on camera so they can upload them onthe internet, which—it’s no secret—not everyone wants to be a part of.A researchon Perception of Pranks on Social Media: Clout-Lighting found that in a romantic setting, for instance, people pulling pranks on their significant other is negatively linked to their level of satisfaction in the relationship. Chances are, such situations don’t make family relationships any better either; so it’s safe to assume that the OP’s stepdaughter’s pranks and her broken nose weren’t something the two could bond over.
Netizens didn’t think the man intentionally did anything wrong
Some, though, believed that he should have been more careful
