Danger of serious injury is what I was referring to: back/neck disc herniation's, hip dislocations and labrum tears, knee dislocations and meniscus issues or ligament tears, etc. I suppose I should have been a lil more specific.
The barbell bench is, as you mention, a dangerous lift as well and a spotter should be utilized anytime lifting for 1-3 rep max/max effort to minimize the chances of asphyxiation from the bar falling on the chest or trachea due to a structural failure (tendons, ligaments) or muscle fatigue/failure or tear.
That said I wouldnt leave these lifts or any of the major free weight barbell lifts out of any routine or training plan for the athlete or soldier serious about building strength.
