Yes if all the weight is on the hips it's pretty safe. I have done a lot of squats that way in the 80s-90s when we had the set-up for that, 450lbs x 20 reps weeks in and out with absolutely no lower back pain...

Ironically I'm writing this from my bed... still hurt myself doing the 'hybrid' lift yesterday... the spud belt with a short chain does help for making less bruises in the inner thighs but it hurts the hips like the chin-up belt does, the problem is to have the weight belt over the squat belt, it seems that the weight belt (Spud or chin-up belt) is pulling down my Inzer belt down into my hip bone, so I have it painfully sit on the hip bone each time I lower down... making a large bruise there too, so I tried to put the Inzer belt higher to avoid that but it just moved the problem to the ribs.
