AS for the olympic lifts, I never worry about getting hurt. I'd be more concerned about deadlifts. I hate high reps of fast deadlifts. I trend to use too much back and so you are just asking for pain and possible tweaking of the back. If you have a weak knee, don't squat too much, but squat a lot so it's not so weak in the future.
I do oly lifting seasons to improve technique, but yesterday we did a WOd with lots of cleans. The weight was light for me so I didn't use my legs enough and smoked my back but I feel fine today, even after playing bball last night.
I'm much more likely to get injured bench pressing than doing olympic lifts.
I better get to bed so I can get in two workouts tomorrow.
