You can probably thank the lunks for that, where they simply drop the bar. Equipment isn't insurable or warrantable for that. If you want to do something with a high potential of lunk, do it at home.

On top of that, you also have the bend bros, who maliciously challenge themselves to destroy bars competitively. My old gym used to have a pincushion of shame for this, letting everyone know why their voted equipment for the yearly upgrade was not being purchased.

Still, a gym without competitive programs is a dead gym.

They make rackable straps for training drops. https://gymcrafter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Strap-large.jpg I've seen pads, too. Request them at your gym, you might see them the next day because they're inexpensive.
