Isn't it a pretty standard safety practice to have a spotter when weightlifting?

In a lift where a spotter can help you, yes.

Lifts like snatches, cleans, and their variations there isn't much one can do to help. If you're in trouble you just dump the weight and step away.

Looks like he lost control and, rather than bailing, tried to regain his balance and suffered for it.

In snatch most of the time you can just flop the bar down behind you if you fail at that point - no need to turn into Tetsuo from the end of Akira.
