Crossfit has a bad reputation and is misunderstood by a lot of the general public thanks to the media. It's a mixture of traditional body building lifts and powerlifts, with a HIIT element as well. Each gym is different and your experience is largely dependent on it. Not everybody enjoys it or finds it to meet their goals, to each their own. Of course injuries will occur due to improper form or simply using your damn body. People get hurt running, people get hurt biking, hell people get hurt on the staircase at work. If you're training hard and not letting your body recover or have a spell of bad luck, things may tear/break/etc.
Personally I have been working out for the past 12 years and used a mixture of lifting programs, running, hockey etc to mix it up. For the past 3 years I have been doing regular lifts 2x a week, crossfit 2-3x a week and mixing in hockey, running or hiking on other days. Find something you can stick to for more than a couple months at a time and enjoy!
