FWIW, I'll just bring up the counterpoint to at least one example. The above posts talk about beginners being injured by experienced students, but in my experience, the opposite is more likely.
I've had it happen with enough frequency to make me vary wary now where a beginner will struggle with a technique for a while and then suddenly slam it in almost perfectly. Or they change speed from really slow to super quick in the midst of technique. Or things don't quite work and they try to muscle the technique and (for example) lock out my elbow.
I'm a lot more wary of beginners than I am of experienced students.
