If they injured themselves then that's their own fault unless they had a **** poor trainer who never corrected bad form. Crossfit doesn't cause injuries..people cause injuries.
High rep box jumps cause injuries and that is a product of crossfit. Box jumps are a pylometric exercise, not an aerobic conditioning exercise.
Only if done improperly which basically means double shock loading the Achilles. On high rep box jumps, it's easy to avoid injury by landing squarely and feet flat on the top of the box and then stepping down.

Oh yeah, of course. That's what I meant (sorry, I am a lazy sometimes).
99% of the time, crossfitters do not land squarely feet flat and step down (for time, lazy, don't care, improper technique).

Well that is for high rep jumps. When we are doing reps in the 10-20 range I land squarely on the box but spring back up from the jump down. I've been doing it that way for years with not even a hint of ankle pain. But then again I land squarely without letting half of my foot hang off the edge of the box.
I actually did a few PT sessions with a Crossfit trainer. It was actually helpful. I learned proper form on the rower, how to deadlift and a bunch of pushup variations.
Then I found out, a while later, that my coworker goes to his "home gym." and she thinks he is the worst trainer ever. It is pretty funny. But she is more of a go a half marathon/skip the weights sort of person. And I am more like: finish my workout as fast as possible but make it effective type.
I like some of the crossfit exercises but overall I'm not a fan. To me weightlifting isn't a race.
