Of course, the most common injury when deadlifting form slips is probably lowerback related.

I still think everyone would benefit from some strength training! Any strenuous physical activity has risk from injury, but I think that risk is better to accept than the risk from doing nothing. But it's worth looking up some powerlifting videos on YouTube for good form and cues. (I've seen deadlifting videos from non-powerlifters, and I have not been impressed.) This is a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5eGGZXb0Is Layne Norton is a smart, thoughtful guy and an elite powerlifter.

Layne Norton is smart and thoughtful. There are others as well. Basically I learned a million time more from these guys than I ever learned in all the yoga classes I ever took.
