Disclaimer: I'm talking about Olympic lifts and sprints when I say "explosive movements." Clean and jerk and snatch are the primary ones. Secondary movements are things like kettlebell swings and Turkish get-ups.

While they can be risky, I think that these exercises have benefits that outweigh the risk of injury, especially if you're using proper form. The biggest thing to remember is to lift what you're capable of and not to lift with your ego. No reason to risk yourself to get another 10kg unless you're a powerlifter.
