I feel the part of weightlifting that makes it more dangerous is probably why weightlifters are less injured than powerlifters. Weightlifting is technically hard, and most weightlifters start from day one with a coach. Powerlifts are "simple," and as such most powerlifters don't start with a coach and end up doing things wrong and hurting themself.

I personally believe the combination of speed and weight makes olympic lifts inherently dangerous. Most sports have a lot of survivorship bias. It looks like people can do them forever because a lot of other people have dropped out.
