Yeah, behind the back/neck anything is very high risk. Your shoulders are the least stable joint in your body; you don't wanna be messing with them. Most people don't even realize that straight above the head dumbell/military press places yourself at a much higher risk for shoulder injury.
Sorry, should've elaborated. Doing them directly overhead is worse than if you do them more safely with the weights slightly in front of your shoulders, or on a slight incline so they're not being pressed exactly perpendicular to the floor and straight up over your shoulders.
