Not certain what the source was, heard it a while ago and avoided them ever since. You have any info on this? Supporting or against. Thanks.

Strengthen the back first. in my opinion, all exercise should be core based anyway. A stronger core by design has a stronger back. I wouldn't say it's bad for the back at all, but I do see how anyone with a bad back or weak back would certainly have issues with the movement. Begin slowly, make smaller movements, get stronger and improve the back. disclaimer: I'm certainly not a doctor. This is just common sense. when using the ab wheel, you’d have no option except to completely contract your core in order to keep stable.
