Exactly. And if you are spending all that time rebalancing and resetting not only will the bar be on you a LONG time but, as you say, you could easily get injured. I can imagine a knee injury from all the shifting around.
And again, watch that downward phase. If you're not careful, while you're getting used to the exercise, you can get a very painful stress injury in the shin.
I don't remember if those articles I posted went into this. The proper way to get into position is to start with both feet on the platform (or bench or whatever), shift your weight to the leg your exercising and slowly lower you body down until the free leg comes in contact TOES ONLY. The majority of the weight is kept on the exercised leg. And then back up back down in a nice rhythm. The important thing is where the weight is because your legs were not desinged to absorb the stress of coming down from a height with a barbell on your back. But if you do it right there are no worrys.
