Right, and if by any chance you miss a lift and can't control the bar as it's over your head AND can't drop the bar, what do you do?

You're missing the point ^^^
First off, gyms, in contrary to popular beliefs, don't grow in trees. In my area there are barely 3 gyms with 2 of them being pretty much "health" gyms with no free weights. The 3rd, where I go, has free weights but you won't see anybody doing snatches and cleans and dropping the bar on the floor.
These are perfectly acceptable exercises as clean and snatch replacements^^^

I don't know how you can eat cow meat... first of all it really sucks taste wise and secondly, and most importantly, it takes about 10 minutes to masticate one piece at a time.

I remember when I was struggling to squat 130x1 one week ago after not squatting for a week straight... and complaining about it... and then I just came back the next workout and squatted 130x5 no problems. So... who knows? Maybe the next time you hit the gym you're going to squat 405x5 no problems.

Then why don't you warm up to a heavy 5 rep set and then come down from there for the rest of your 4 sets of 5?

I think it could be anything. You could be sick and not know about it (some mild infection or something). Or it could be something as easy as not having the correct stance (too narrow of a stance throwing you off the rhytm) or something along those lines.
I mean, it's obvious you can't lose enough muscle in that time frame for this loss to occur so it has to be something else. Bad sleeping/bad eating/infection/overtraining/going to the gym at a different time of day than usual/a combination of factors.

By the time you got to 209 you tired yourself up with all those lower weight sets... why do you go that route instead of warming up with lower rep ranges and then go for a top set?
When I warm up I usually go with:
20x5
60x5
90x5
110x3
130x1
~150x1 (1RM)
130x5 work set
