> door frame pull up bar YouTube is riddled with those falling out of the door frames and people face-planting or falling on their back. Are all those failure

  You can't do any kipping / front to back movement. Worth it IMO to get a beefier bar (see Rogue's above door offering) so that you don't break your tailbone falling off the door frame & can use resistance bands for added assistance. https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-jammer-pull-up-bar https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-jammer-pull-up-bar

  Some of them could be badly designed. Mine has a part that hooks over the top of the door-frame, along with a bar that sits against the door frame on the other side... so the more weight you have on it, the more solidly it sits. I like that my body weight isn't hanging from a little screw in the door frame (which I suspect is a failure point). From what I've seen in those videos, most of the time people are screwing around, swinging out of them and trying to do tricks... if you're doing proper form when the bar breaks, you should probably be landing on your feet anyway? I'd definitely recommend getting one though.
