A tad more rounded can get you injured... Looking at your video, your body from your hips to your upper neck(deep cervical flexors) should make a straight line, no mending or bending.There are plenty of people that will say your form is great, most of them haven't been injured doing it before( severely at least). IF they have and they are still lifting that way then they have serious issues. Knowing why your form isn't pristine on something as technical as a deadlift requires a good amount of knowledge. I would also maybe send your vid to Eric Cressey and see what he thinks, even check out Rippetoe's videos. Link is to a .pdf file but will explain how much extra load you put in the lumbar disc region when you are even slightly rounded.

thanks for the link, good read. I agree that there shouldn't be any bend, but unfortunatley there always is. I do need to get my back straighter agreed, and it is something I'm working on.
This is why I posted it, for feedback. Thanks guys
