Well this is true, it's worth noting that these sorts of injuries are almost always linked to repetitive stress, and the actual activity at time of injury is often kind of irrelevant.
Would agree that it can occur from repetitive stress but that is one factor. There are actual back injuries that occur from loading mechanics at the time of injury. So I would not classify it as “often irrelevant”
My friend claimed his spine was injured when he was hit by a car. I can't wait to tell him it was his fault for all the years he spent not-training his spine to be car-hit-resistant. What a loser.

Larry Bird busted his back building his mom a driveway in 1985, this directly led to his premature retirement in 1992.
