I know you heard from the countless surgeons who spoke at support group meetings, that rods can be compared to paperclips. When bent back and forth a bunch of times, they weaken at a specific spot. Eventually, they just finally break. Strong rods that haven't been weakened by continuous stress do not just break.
With that said, I agree that some weightlifting moves might be detrimental.
