Tore my shit up on a train from Snap City a while ago - both groins still very tender. Critique? Apart from nearly killing myself on the last rep I thought it was ok

Yes

Then I would probably go back to the weight where you can maintain your knee position, and then work slowly from there while maintaining good form.
Disclaimer: not a coach / not familiar with your type of injury, but this seems like a safe course.
Wonder what more experienced people have too say. I see this 'knee flapping' occasionally and it always makes me wonder how safe (or not) it is.

I don't know if they're flapping, I think they're just extending out of the hole

You're trying to lift your chest up instead on staying in your hips, and it's causing your knees to shoot forward. Drive your hips, don't lead with your chest.

As you begin to drive out of the hole, your knees come in, and then you shove
them back out to the sides as you complete the rep. This is more
noticeable on later reps, esp 4 & 5.
This may be related to the lifting of the chest as noted above.
Yeah, they're flapping around. Knee movement like that puts a lot of strain on your tendons. Try to keep it under control.
