Gladiola, a couple of ref's wrt the smith machine and squatting are in this thread:

And, wrt lower reps being more dangerous, a couple of studies in the thread about shoulder training, which you should be familiar with, say otherwise:
http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=142219
And while I would agree that the risk is higher for a novice lifter to perform a 1rm than an experienced lifter, there is also more risk for every rep range, as the skill is simply not there, along with conditioning, etc.
Howeve, that being said, if a newbie insists on performing a 1rm squat, let them. Cull the herd.
