> The report cautioned that the condition was very rare, and not a reason to avoid high-intensity exercise.

end of discussion i guess?

Well, also:

> While almost any intense activity can cause rhabdo, it almost always strikes people who are doing something new. That is why people should always progress from light to moderate and then vigorous intensity when doing a new exercise

This is decent advice even without considering rhabdomyolysis.

Better to know ahead than to get a nasty surprise. I think it's good to warn people about the what, when, why, and how to recognise it. It might be rare but it's also pretty serious.
