Whaaaaaat. CrossFit gyms everywhere still pride themselves on both box jumps and butterfly pull ups, both of which are not great. Cool that you found some anomalies though
I've been to about 20 CrossFit gyms throughout the years and it was the same everywhere. Maybe it's an American thing, I'm from Germany and nobody is doing dumb shit like this.
Box jumps are not inherently unsafe, but this girl should be doing step ups on the 20" side, not box jumps on the 24" or 30" side.
Ahhh that could be it. I’m in the U.S. and have been to a bunch of CrossFit gyms and also work with tons of cross-fitters. Still centered around tons of reps and kipping/butterfly pull ups. Many harp on form but then as soon as the workout is for time or as many rounds as possible, form slowly goes out the window and all of a sudden deadlifts are hurting people.
I don’t have a problem with CrossFit itself, just the way it’s implemented and taught. I love the idea of a full workout with good form and strict movements but every gym I’ve been to loses that along the way.

That sucks. I've seen videos of people doing stupid shit and thought those were the exception based on my experience. This seems to be in Brazil.
I was obese when I started CrossFit 8 years ago and never had a single injury, and never witnessed one either. No rabdo, nothing. All trainers I've worked with have been pretty extreme about good form. Yes, at some point you increase the speed and start kipping pull ups, but that's kinda the idea behind the whole sport and only to be done when you've excelled at the training level before.
