The clean and press very underated exercise but y?

I've never done it because I have nobody to show me in person and no mirror to look in while I do it. To me, it looks like something I should not try without at least one of those.

Try body pump, loads of clean and press reps in that!

Easy to hurt yourself badly if done incorrectly, takes coordination, uses full body (so hard to mix in to days where you focus different muscle groups), easy to do incorrectly, and some weight rooms ban oly lifts because of the above reasons. Oly lifts are awesome and really good for training, but the above reasons are why more people don't do them.

I don't understand why people think they are dangerous. The hardest part of the lift is getting the weight from the waist to the shoulders. If you fail to get enough momentum to get to where you can do that, the weight goes back down to your waist. The most dangerous part of the lift is getting the barbell back on the ground when you are done, but most newbies don't have the form or strength to lift enough weight for there to be a danger to set the weight back down, rather than dropping the barbell with bumper plates(which may need to be done when you are proficient at them.)
