Thats a scary story, glad your wife was ok eventually. I don’t know much about anatomy and heavy deadlifts always make me a little nervous. Isn’t stabilization the issue though? I always thought the whole core was supposed to be supporting the spine so how could a vertebra pop out unless something went really went wrong?

Deadlifts don't need to be heavy. In fact, if it is muscle weakness in the posterior chain that is causing back pain, more reps at lighter weight is a better way to develop them.
