Effects on the back from weighted vests

[PHILBERT]

If someone has a back disability such as Scheuermann's Kyphosis (http://images.google.com/images?q=Scheuermann%27s+Kyphosis&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search), would it/could it cause any damages to the back that are long lasting if you wore a weighted vest?

I don't know, I have ruptured disks, but I can curl 90 lbs ok, so I'd bet two 40 pound vests would be about the same, so long as I didn't leave them on for half a day or something.

Maybe I missed it, but which one of those images was Scheuermann's Kyphosis?

The first image is what my back looks like when I lean over (except that isn't me). The others are just images of things people wear who have had surgery, drawings, etc. It was named after the guy who discovered it.
