I am not sure about the foot placement. I am of the opinion you should do what's comfortable. I think there is very little difference as far is how it targets the leg muscles. Just my take.
As far as back injury, I believe that occurs when the butt leaves the seat at the bottom of the press. Based on my observations this is a not uncommon gym goer mistake and a risky one.
