@bigsocrates: While I agree with Kingston's spot, which was absolutely one where you saw there was no way a spot could be done without injury or catastrophe, Copeland's injury was a freak accident. It was just a regular spot where Copeland goes over a younger guy that deserves a push, but Edge hesitated and instead of doing the spot properly he decided to just fall on his feet which incidentally is more dangerous than the actual spot.
But yeah, while I hate to reference Cornette, there are times when the marks are in the ring. There's a big problem with wrestlers doing spots that are don't look especially good, but are genuinely dangerous. The Kingston spot is one of them, all the apron moves are another. The worst are moves where the person taking the move can't genuinely bump/ protect themselves or in anyway effect how the move ends up. Stuff like corner powerbombs, dropkicks to the back and shit like that. It's one thing to decide to do a move where you put yourself in danger, and another to do a move where you put your opponent in danger. Mone/Sasha is kinda notorious for doing moves in that vein.
