Ha, me too. Even though I like them because I know they are very productive, something about having more than my own bodyweight on my shoulders gives me that eary feeling, or when you see that iron bar bowing a little. On the other hand.....it sure makes you feel stought!!!

Over half of all injuries I see is because someone is using too much weight.

ditto.

The injury typically is not because of too much weight, it is because the person resorts to poor form to move a weight that is too heavy for them. If they were using a too heavy weight, but tried to lift it in an appropriate manner, they'd simply not be able to lift it more than a few times, but would be less likely to hurt themselves if they at least attempted to do so in a controlled manner.

People can hurt themselves with a weight that is appropriate or even too light, if they are performing the exercise improperly or with sloppy form.

They can mess you up pretty bad if you screw up.

OH MAN!!! everytime I see that picture I get the creepin willies lol. Scary.
For myself when I first started lifting I did BB shrugs by rounding my shoulders front to back and wrecked my neck for a fricken weak. Needless to say I just go straight up and down now.

i was doing behind the neck shoulder presses on a smyth machine and i don't go down below the ears. is that okay? or should i switch to frontal presses (but sometimes i hear my shoulders pop doing this).

Those spotters weren't very helpful apparently

I "use" to have a workout partner that was that kind of spotter. You would look up, and he would be at the water fountain, or checking out chicks.
