What exactly is the purpose of that? It seems like there is a high correlation between kipping pull ups and SLAP tears.
To be honest, I don't understand a lot of the workouts that are done.
High repetition olympic lifts seem like they are inherently dangerous. I don't understand the craze.
The injury page at the crossfit website is damn near 1000 pages.
Crossfit should ban certain excercises from being performed when there is a high correlation for injury, and should run the necessary regressions in order to find out what excercises are most injury prone.
I am so tempted to try Crossfit, but I am worried about getting injured. A friend of mine loved it for a while and then she quit because they were making her do stuff that she felt uncomfortable with and she thought for sure an injury was in her future.
I laugh when I see someone doing those. Back in jr high, we called them girlie pull ups because your momentum is doing the work for you, not your strength. That's why they are able to do high reps with it.
No offense meant to the ladies here, it was jr high and you know how jr high kids can be.
Crossfit in theory is actually pretty great. Ideally, you have like 1 coach for every couple of people. So even at $200, you basically have a personal trainer for $200 a month, which is an awesome deal even if you only go two-three times a week.
But then some boxes ruin it by not having enough coaches and packing in people, not regressing exercises and making the workout specific to your skills and needs and doing **** like 100 deadlifts x 1.5 bowdyweight. It's a cash cow for too many people; especially for crossfit HQ

Post your question on the Crossfit message board for best answers. The kipping pullup is not a muscle/strength exercise like you standard dead hang pullup. They are done for more of a metabolic workout and training explosive whole body movements.
Your questions stems from just flat out not knowing anything about it. Ask on the CF forums and you'll get your answers.
Peace.
