Does slamming your opponent when put in a triangle choke hurt your back?

[wendlesora]

I've seen MMA matches, and even actual fights, where a guy or girl puts their opponent in a triangle choke. To escape this choke, I've seen people slam their opponents on the ground. But when I look at the way they are lifting their opponent, it seems that they are lifting with their back. Therefore, I'm wondering, wouldn't it cause a nerve tear in your spinal cord, or some other sort of back injury. Also:
1. Is it mostly girls who employ triangle chokes, or other leg chokes?
2. Is there any easier way to escape a triangle choke?
3. What situations is a triangle choke best used in?
4.Isn't it possible for the one who is being choked to bite the genitals of the other opponent?

well, to lift someone who is putting a triangle on you will require some back strength, it COULD hurt you a bit, but imo not enough to injure your back more than you'll injure his/hers by slamming them.

1. no, the triangle is widely used by men and women. it's like the signature move of bjj.
2. plenty, by slamming like you said, by standing up and shaking off your opponent, by stopping them from positioning your arm in the right way and then sit back and use your feet/legs to hold your opponent's body while you're stretching your body and more.
3. guard or mount, sometimes it's been used reversed (from the back), but that doesn't happen often.
4. it shouldn't be possible unless the guy doing it is a) not placing the triangle around the neck (so the chin can't move down to bite) and/or b) he's not wearing underwear and has his little buddy sticking out dangerously (in range to be bitten).
