Yikes!

Guy in the video suggests using straps
err , maybe if you didnt use straps your grip or lack of it will stop your back breaking
-
It's spinal

The dude's lower limbs are too LONG for that kind of DL setup : hips too high + firing too early.
It puts an enormous and unecessary amount of pressure on the lower back.
He should rethink his setup, open his hips and externally rotate his legs ( knees and feet pointing out. ) That way, he could lower his hips down and bring them closer to the bar.
His starting position should approximatively look like this one ( minus the weightlifting shoes and w/ shoulders over the bar ) :

If you care for your spine, wear Weider Power Bracelets when deadlifting heavy. On both wrists, that's where a lot of people go wrong.

When they say don’t step on a crack they are being serious.
We’ll, I guess it wasn’t his Mom’s back though.

SF points out what really counts.

Is heavy deadlifting even worth it for bodybuilding? Most people, me included, end up ego lifting and getting injured.

There is zero reason to deadlift heavy off the floor.
Zero.
And this is coming from a former powerlifter.

Bob chicerillo recommends never to deadlift, barbell bench press or barbell squat

If I had to stop deadlifting I would stop going to the gym alltogether. I'm not going to rationalise it, well I'm itching to lol... I'll just say deadlifts can be injury preventative for many people, not all. Mainly the back, I've hurt most of my body but not my back and I've seen others who have seemingly very sturdy, injury resistant backs which I think is from deadlifts. Conversely I've seen so many with weak and fragile backs who never deadlifted, always tweaking their backs squatting or rowing. But whatever, everyone should decide for themselves, I know I'm biased too because I love the movement. For me deadlifts is life itself, Jon Pall was right.
First thing I did to recover from my near death Covid debacle was deadlift - with a set of 4 with 135lbs to failure with a guy in the back catching me when I almost passed out and carrying me to a bench each set. Couple of months later I was back over 700. This probably sounds crazy but ALL I did was deadlift for months lol. That's how much I love it.
You should probably lift with a straight back but otoh some or many adapt to a somewhat rounded back style. There are two camps in this, "the body adapts to all movements" and "the spine should never flex" (though the back will always flex a little no matter what, even through everyday movements).

Back when I was powerlifting I saw some deadlifts that left me wondering how they didn’t break their back.Some people get very sloppy on this exercise
-
What bone(s) could he have broken? Seems more likely a disc issue.
-
When you are young do your single reps max with the deadlift. Deadlifting has prevented more back injuries than it has caused. When you're old never go singles. Doing four to six reps is a sweet spot for me in my sixties. I find as I age that injury preventions is a serious consideration.
-
Likely steroids. Those belts are dumb u cant flare ur lats on the lift
-
Good form or not, you’re rolling the dice when you’re lifting 700+ lbs. that was probably 3x his bodyweight
Never seen an acute back injury like that from lifting though :o

New age of Gymtard and Social-Media is responsible for tons of tears/injuries.
Selfie-rings, torn-up physiques, posers, wanna-bees... (Curlers).
The greats back in the day didnt get hurt deadlifting, they knew what they were doing.

luckily there is a place for him up the mountain
-
For a bodybuilder or anyone wanting to look great on the beach..Deadlifts are not needed.
Yes i know... but mass .. much better exercises to work lower back & lats.

heavy no, anywhere from 55-75% of your max where there's no technique failure it's a perfectly safe movement
-
Rack pulls are good too, I can feel the back more. I have been doing front squats lately, can't go too heavy and the feel on the back and abs are very unique.

I prefer both of these exercises. The front squat feels better in the hips, knees and lower back.

its all worth it...

You think the guy who broke his back agrees? Probably can’t lift heavy ever again.

Suffering a debilitating injury just to show off for people who don’t care if you live or die.

This. If ever there was an over-abused ego lift. It's deadlifting.

I think it's largely due to the fact that deadlifting is considered a "blue collar" movement.
Technically, any idiot can bend down over a decently loaded bar and lift it with horrendous technique.
Learning the fundamentals such as the hip hinge, leg drive, lat engagement, intra-abdominal pressurization etc takes time and practice.
Imo, it's a very important movement. It litteraly teaches you how to pick things up safely and effectively. Not sure about it's BB purpose though.
As residue said, staying around 55-75% of your max should not only be fine but also also great for your you.

works the legs better ..IMO

Ouch
-
I find pushing down while deadlifting is a secret of technique.

I’d say this is beyond failure neck training at its finest
