Just one bad form squat in your entire life, and you can permanently damage your knees or back. there are much safer exercises that train the same muscles. as far as provide some data or get out of here, unfortunately I do not know of any good data source on weight lifting injuries and hazard rates. The best I have is baseball, the toll being in the squatting position takes on players knees is, to use some of the language you have used, 'universally accepted'.
